Good, but Disappointed
I'd like to start by saying the design of this knife is beautiful. Very elegant, easy to carry and relatively comfortable in hand to hold. But have many gripes with almost everything else but I felt the need to write a review. 1. the pocket clip is unnecessarily long, more than half the handle lenght. at times uncomfortable. I also wish the pocket clip was positioned in a spot that made the butt end of the handle deeper in pocket, and marginally more symmetrical. 2. the blade finish is a fingerprint magnet. often times even a microfiber cloth isn't enough to wipe off smudges and it's infuriating. 3. the blade shows a serialized number fir the part, but not the blade steel? odd choice but okay. also the CRKT logo could have been places better. the bold CRKT taints the elegance the rest of the blade offers. 4. the liner lock is a little bit different to access and disengage. the liner itself is the thinnest liner possible for thumb purchase, making it unpleasant to touch. a second gripe against the liner lock is that the design shows a shape in the handle meant for choking up be hold right up to the edge. wich is comfortable for gripping, but creates a sharp corner on the liner, that digs itself into your thumb when attempting to disengage the lock. All of these things lead me to belive this knife was an after thought for practical use, and mostly designed for its lines. One good thing I have to say, besides looks. I absolutely love the action. A few thousand into a collection, my first comment if anyone has read this far. This has the best action felt in a knife, so far.
