Great Knife, Great Value
This knife is a fantastic daily utility knife. I spent a great deal of time selecting my knife, perhaps more than I needed to but I got a good one. The 'Answer' is good for the following reasons: Handle and grip are formed well and ergonomic feeling when held. The inserts are a nice feature and add a good amount of grip actually. The thumb ramp is modest but effective and has ribbing for thumb traction. Good lower channel for your fore finger. I am not worried about my hand slipping. Mechanisms are solid. Some reviewers of the knife dislike hearing the spring sound when folding the knife. It sounds like a normal operating sound to me. It is not a "cheap" or "flimsy" sound so it's doing what it's supposed to in my mind. Safety and blade release switch is solid. Blade is seated well, no blade play, and is on center. Clip is 'low hanging' so it rides low in the pocket. The blade is sharp as can be out of the box. It's like exacto razor blade sharp. The tanto profile has a great shape for puncturing and cutting. The coating does what it is supposed to do, helping pass the blade through the subject material. I appreciate the larger serrated area which is useful when you need to use that area. 3.25" length is perfect... large blade, but still remains a pocket knife. It is probably heavier than some care for (I don't care).
