Something to fill your watch pocket
Neat little knife. My only reason for not giving it a 5 star rating is it's size. It is just too small for me to easily open with one hand. If you can flick it open, it opens smartly and smoothly, with a snappy lockup. Assembly and material quality is top shelf; the bearings are smooth, there is no wiggle of any kind, the blade is perfectly centered, sharp as can be out of the box, and of a very useful shape. However, it does not always lock fully; it can appear locked open but needs a little persuasion to fully engage. Did I mention that is was small?? OK for slicing a Slim Jim into little pieces, but NOT a salami. I purchased the version with clear handles so as to be able to see the mechanism in action. This is the first button de-activated frame lock that I have ever seen, and it makes sense given the size of the knife. I believe releasing a traditional frame lock would be difficult on a knife this size.. It will probably stay in the collection, but won't replace my under $40 Bugout Mini clone in my jeans pocket.
