A four star review is optimistic. Slick to the point of wonderfulness. When carried I pull it free and just snap away. Razor sharp with signature mounting screws(as I recall), the grip fits almost all intentions. Needed a lot of work to slide the lock smooth. Tip is thin as is the blade for me, They hopefully put the money in the blade metal(not a lot on anything else but smooth). Pocket clip is secure but annoyingly grabby especially in jeans(is now loosening from frame). I like this blade and it's in the rotation, but has limitations
