Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Lock Ease of Use

Tougher than anything else out there

Absolutely fantastic! This massive thick beautiful knife is VERY tough. Hack, chop, slice and pry all you want. This knife WILL NOT break. Not even any blade play. It has a razor sharp edge, fantastic sheath, glass breaking pommel, safety pin, and a diamond sharpener. Tips: if you want to keep the pin and cord tied in the lanyard hole, to keep it from twisting when the pin is screwed in, just add a spinning keychain joint. If not, you could also wear the pin like a bracelet because the cord is elastic. Incredible hardness and edge retention paired with the rust resistance of this steel make for a very good choice. It is easy to sharpen, and has a very simple maintenance mechanism. The back spacer is also fully N690. The only downside is that there are no washers in the pivot, so it is steel on steel. However, the coating on the blade is self-lubricating. This does, however, make it tough to open one handed, but you can get used to it. The lock does not budge, but is rather hard to use compared to a liner lock, frame lock, or lockback.
