So smooth, perfect micarta
I'm sure the adjustments to the spring can make for some great customization, but this thing is perfect out of the box. I have 4 crossbar locks now, with the inventor of it being the worst, and this one being right under Hogue which is the best. This dropbear is a little too quick and just doesn't feel as pristine, but it's probably the easiest opening one out of the 4. Again, maybe I should play with the spring a little. The blade is a great shape and makes for a steady slicer with it's height. But the micarta, I have a three Kizers in micarta, all three of them have better feeling micarta than any other brand I own. If there is a better one out there, I wish I knew because I'd buy it today. This is an easy recommendation for me if someone doesn't prefer a wilder knife.

Review
Best work knife I've carried in 30 years. Easy to sharpen and not too large to carry comfortably. You WILL need to get a torx set to occasionally tighten screws, but that is just maintenance.

Lock stick
This knife has the worst lock stick I have ever seen. It's so bad that the knife is barely functional
