Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Handle Material, Pocket Clip

Cons: Lock Ease of Use, Overall Quality

Problem with the liner lock.

The PVD coating interface might have ruined the tolerances and made the liner lock too tight. Closing this knife feels like winding a clock-work mechanism.

Really Nice Knife, Except . . .

I love the blade shape and material. The overall shape and feel of the knife is great. I have no trouble using the flipper tab, thumb flicking, or reverse flicking. The wire pocket clip is reversable, which is a must for lefties like me. It even came with a bonus "solid" pocket clip, which I haven't tried out yet. The only qualm that I really have is the micarta scales. Where they are cut out - at the flipper location, around the thumb hole, and both ends (basically the whole perimeter) the fabric is exposed and very rough. Not the craftsmanship that I expect from GiantMouse. And definitely inferior to what I'd expect for a $245 knife - of any brand.

Wish it were better

This knife has a lot of potential but unfortunately the design is only half baked. I have a brass Ace Clyde and it's amazing and worth every penny, this knife not so much. The pattern is amazing, and I love the burlap micarta and Vanadis blade steel. That's where it ends though unfortunately. The detent is way to strong. Middle finger flicking is pretty much out of the question unless you want your nail rubbing off. It's so strong that sometimes I would experience a failure when using the flipper tab. Next and quite worse, is that this knife suffers from blade rap. This is clearly an engineering flaw, the blade should never hit the back spacer, but it does. Finally the ball bearings were a poor choice in my opinion. It makes the knife feel cheap and the ones used are rough feeling. It makes it feel like a much cheaper knife which leads me to the conclusion. This is not a $250 knife in my opinion, I would be happy paying $80 for it. I'll be sending mine back.

Dream knife ruined by GM

I love burlap micarta. It's my favorite handle material. I have dozens of knives with this handle material from expensive to cheapo level. I understand the little imperfections of it and am not uptight about variance and flaws that come with its use. Like the title says though... this might be the worst example of burlap handle scales I've ever put hands on. Overall, the example I received had these quality issues: 1.) Lock bar barely engaged tang of knife and I would not trust the knife in use. 2.) The burlap micarta had cracks around the liner lock access in the cutout area where it is thinner and literal large sections are weak and clearly vulnerable to breaking out completely. 3.) There are numerous large gaps and voids around both sides of the pivot hardware and all the other body screws. 4.) Finally, the action came impregnated with metal filings that were not cleaned out from final machining. It was a total let down for me and I had to return it. I still want one but can't bring myself to buy another after returning the hot mess I received the first time. I hope you have better luck.
