Razor Sharp

Great lightweight knife. Easy to open as you pull it out of your pocket. Sharpens easily and keeps a good edge. I like the point on this knife. It is nice to puncture a hole in something you need to cut.

Outstanding Knife for the Price

This knife needs to be evaluated for what it is: a price point performer. After using it thoroughly over the course of five months I can say the action, weight, and utility of this knife is almost impossible to beat. I am a left hand dominant user that also has spyderco, Civivi, CRKT, other Kershaw, and Gerber in the carry collection. I have no problem with one handed operation and really enjoy the blade shape of this knife. The assisted open rockets the blade out reliably, even better than my $70 Kershaw Ken Onion and I have fidget-opened it thousands of times by this point. I don’t pocket clip carry and took off the clip to save weight. Yes - the materials do not rival knives way above its price, but dang does this knife just know how to deliver for a good price. It is like the Morakniv of the assisted folder world.

I wasn't aware it didn't come with a box.

Overall the knife functions and looks great. However, it came in a plastic wrapper and doesn't come with a box. As a collector, I would have liked to know this before the purchase.
