Well thought out!
Having many high-end folders, I can say they got everything right with this model - perfect in-between medium/large size, 3 5/16" cutting edge, super comfortable handle in contoured G10 with nice woodgrain pattern giving just the right grip without tearing your pockets. Decisive well-dialed-in detent, lockup, and ease of opening whether with flipper, thumb, or reverse flick. Lockbar release is toothy without being painful. Great attention to detail wherever you look - surfaces are perfectly finished, rounded and jimped. The right amount of heft, solid without being too heavy. Elmax blade was shaving sharp out of the box and is nicely stonewashed. Sorry to hear others had disappointment with the burlap handle version; this one's really good!
