A Real Beauty with Only 1 Flaw (But It's Big)
I got this for my wife who loved it for its beauty, but even she can tell the blade steel is nothing special. One recommendation is that you monitor the tension on the hinge screw, as it has a tendency to come loose. The stark beauty of this knife cannot be overstated, it makes a beautiful keychain knife. However, she eventually tired of having to sharpen this thing when a stiff breeze blew over the blade, and we replaced it with the Knifecenter exclusive Spyderco Ladybug with Pakkawood and a Hap40 blade, and while it lacks a bit of the LionBeat beauty, as a knife the Ladybug is worlds better. We both still highly recommend this knife, just know you're going to have to sharpen and tighten often.
