Wasn't what I expected, but better!
I was looking for a knife to put into my EDC rotation that would be comparable to my O'Light "Duron" that I carry every day. This one foots the bill with a drop point blade and the Veff serrations. The blade is a lower-quality steel than the Nitro-V blade that Duron comes in, but I'm also quite fond of CRKT's. When I ordered this one, I thought it was going to be bigger, but it's not. They just made good use of the blade-to-handle proportion. When I first took it out of the box, I had to flip it open, and it had a rapid *snap* when I flicked it open with a good lockup, a very solid build IMO. I like the hatched G-10 scales. They help keep the knife nestled deep in my pocket without cinching itself out. In comparison, it just about the same blade length and design as my Duron. But it has assisted opening (bonus), with the Veff serrations (bigger bonus), and its all-black color design is a perfect replacement for my Duron. Not to mention it goes with the rest of my murdered-out, all-black EDC goods. Love isn't lost for my O'Light Duron. It's on the shelf above my dump tray to go with the rest of my O'Light collection.
