a nice knife
The first time I saw this, it became a grail for me to pursue. This knife has a nice heft. A keen edge and a solid locking system make this an excellent knife for daily use. I removed the tassel bit (not my style) and usually carry this in the fifth pocket of my jeans. While it is an expensive knife (I don't collect, but acquire and use), it may be the end of waiting for the right knife. One thing more to mention. I prefer a different locking mechanism, but I took a chance on this frame lock. It took me some time to figure out how to easily open this knife one-handed. Now it opens very nicely, and when the grip is just right, a most satisfying pop with a slight echo. I don't think you will be disappointed. If they make this in a cross-axis style locking mechanism, I just might need a new one.
