Seriously Good
OK, got mine in the UK because it was cheaper for just one purchase. Definite WOW factor here. This knife is testament to Ken Onion's talents and superb Taiwanese manufacturing. I don't mean it has luxurious materials or a perfect hand finish: it has neither. But, the tolerances, selection of materials and the way it's been put together is simply excellent. Though probably not for use everywhere (sand in the bearing? no thanks) it's a beautiful and completely usable thing. Weighs 182g which isn't feather light but it feels right. 4 outstanding features: flipper / IKBS opening which makes it more like an assisted-opener; super-comfortable hand feel - ergonomics & balance; rock solid lock-up; and the neat short pocket clip which keeps clear of your fingers. This gets a big thumbs-up from me. It looks and handles brilliantly and it's super well-designed and very well-made. I sold another folder to help fund this purchase, very glad I did.

Forsight Knife
Love the knife, solid for camping and outdoor adventures. Can't even feel it in my pocket. The construction is hardcore

A great purchase in every way
I think Ken Onion is the best there is. This is a hefty knife, sporting a thick contoured blade and extremely comfortable handle which fits nicely in the hands. Very small but practical pocket clip. The action is glass smooth and super fast. Liner lock is easy to release. This is not a gentlemens knife. This guy is practical and made to be a work horse. An absolute must for any collector.

Pretty nice
I recently purchased this knife, and it is hair-shaving sharp out of the box. The flipper is amazing, at first, it seemed it was an AO, as it deployed the blade with incredible speed. The cons on this knife are only that it has no reversible pocket-clip and gets dirty. I recommend this knife at only this price, as other places sell this for insane amount of money, and if you wanted to buy a knife at roughly 120$, I advise going for a Coldsteel or something else.

Good Knife, but overpriced
This really is a well made knife as nearly everything designed by Ken Onion is. It feels great in the hand, and the lock is rock solid with zero blade movement in the deployed position. The AUS 8 steel is one of my favorite, because it holds well but can be easily sharpened with any fine grit stone. There are a few reasons I gave it four stars though. First, the thing is just too big for every day carry. With it clipped to my pocket, there is just no room for my hand or anything else. The clip itself is also disappointing. It is too short and too loose to reliably clipped to anything, and it can’t be adjusted in any way that I am aware of. Overall it is a great knife for $40-$50, and just not quite worth the price point of $90.

Almost perfect EDC
My only issue with this knife is the maker's choice of handle material. Produce this model with the same shape in G-!0 and I will be first in line to buy this model. Personally, I haver never liked metal-handled knives, but I see tremendous potential in this model, with a G-10 or even Micarta scales - any hope of that happening?

Too big for pocket carry
18 yr FF/EMT here. Good solid knife. Sharp out of the box. Flips and closes just fine . It is BIG. The quick flick video doesn't do it justice. Would be better as a pack knife . Also it sits deep in the pocket and it's hard to get a grip on it to get it out. Clip design def needs to be rethought. Overall I'm not dissatisfied but buyer beware it's NOT an EDC pocketknife

Big Disappointment
This knife was a huge disappointment considering the price point. I expected much better for the money. It was hard to open and unsafe to close. I have seen a lot of YouTube reviews and mine did not work like theirs. My washer blades work much better and smoother for a lot less money. Now the pros. I love the shape of the blade, feel of the handle and weight. Cons, the clip is horrible and hard to remove from my pocket and the handle is too slick for the removal process. The blade is sharp but I have had sharper knives from other companies. My Schrade SCH2210R flips open ten times smoother and my finger isn't sore. This knife in my opinion is a safety hazard to close as it keeps too much retention when closing and the liner lock is hard to press. And no, I don't have wimpy hands.
