The Finest Slipjoint I've Owned
I got this to celebrate a new job with better pay, expecting the knife to be nice. I was totally blown away. I own plenty of knives. Because of where I travel, it's good for me to have a slipjoint, since locking blades aren't always legal. I was expecting basically a SAK with nice steel. Boy oh boy, is this not that. The blade itself gives me tremendous confidence, as it's thicker and made of better steel than my bugout. The hilt isn't just solid, it is gorgeous. Honestly, if there was an aluminum model that had this finish, I'd have gone for that. That said, I'm not sorry I got this. The hilt feels perfect in the hand. I almost forget that it's non-locking. Some reviews I read complained about the clip. I don't know what they're going on about. The clip is wonderful. It's discrete, works in a jacket or trouser pocket and, since it retracts, it doesn't adulterate the feel of the knife in the hand. This is my first Lionsteel knife, but I can assure you that it won't be my last. What an amazing thing this is. Get one. Your grandkids will no doubt treasure it long after it outlasts you.
