This feels great in the hand! The opening technique I use is to use the thumb and fore finger on opposite sides of the blade. This allows for a very smooth safe grip to allow for a smooth finish of the opening with just the thumb alone. Not a snappy opening but smooth and safe. Just the size and excellent blade design. I like this a lot.
As other reviews have said this knife can be hard to open sometimes (mine was too) BUT once you break the detent in it is easily opened any way you choose. If you're a fan of the middle finger(also index finger) flick this knife is a dream. Opening with the thumb only (once broken in) opening is slow and deliberate, in a good way. The knife is a good size for most average hands imo. This has quickly become my favorite fidget knife due to the middle finger flip ability.
First of all, this Knife has great one-hand action. The groove in the blade is better for thumb opening than any thumb stud I have encountered. There is plenty of room for your thumb, and it can slide in the groove as you open. This knife is tough and simple. The size and shape of the blade make it a good choice for hiking and camping. Steel is not the lightest handle material, but there’s not much of it, and the frame lock is strong.
I knocked off one star due to how difficult it is to open the knife. My Comments •This a is a nice medium size, thin, two-handed folder knife which feels very thin in the hand. This XL is just slightly larger than the standard Highball. •I like the contrasting blue anodized accent colors of the pivot washers, back spacer and frame lock stop. Frame finish matches blade finish. •Blade must be opened with ‘two hands’ or ‘reverse finger flicked’. Wish the blade featured a thumb flick hole or thumb studs to aid in opening. Precise finger placement is required to avoid the frame lock interfering with opening action. •Un-nested, Deep Carry, Folded Stainless Steel pocket clip with Recessed screws. Tip-Up, Right/Left Carry reversible. •Light detents. Blade will not ‘Fall Shut’ but is very smooth.
