Classy Little EDC

I was initially intrigued by this knife in white bone…but held off when the announcement that a “resin infused” version would be coming out in early 2023. Boy…am I glad I waited! The white resin handles remind me of REAL IVORY! Paired with the attractive G10 bolsters,the overall appearance is stunning! The action itself was stiff at first,but loosened up after several dozen deployments.The blade arrived razor sharp,and is extremely secure when in the locked position. Buy it!

Nice but Dangerous

This is a nice looking, quality built knife that feels good in the hand. But, I can no longer trust its safety as an EDC. Recently it deployed inadvertently and cut my hand. I had been seated with it clipped into my pocket. I got up, and after walking a short distance noticed a significant amount of blood dripping on the floor. I looked down and my hand was cut, and the knife blade had opened and was at about a 90 deg angle. I'm glad I noticed because it could have gone into my abdomen. I was not stowing or removing the knife, or otherwise touching it, so it concerns me that it deployed so easily. I like the knife and will keep it for other uses, but would be very hesitant to use it as a carry knife. I'd like to see a non-assisted version.
