Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Lock Ease of Use, Lock Type

Cons: Handle Material

Nice little dagger, but one thing.

Cool little Dagger flipper. Sharp on one edge m390 steel. Blade flings out nicely. Only issue i have is canvas micarta is very absorbent of any oils. Thereby darkening the micarta. It's semi smooth micarta, edges a tiny bit rough but not bad. If micarta could be sealed with a satin finish or something thst might help. But yeah a bit too absorbent on scales. Nice knife though.

Now I know why it was on sale

Where do I start? First, the detent is too strong for the tiny little flipper nub they give you to deploy the blade. It takes a lot of pressure and after a few flips your fingertip starts to throb. Second, the blade was flat dull out of the box. I can sharpen a blade but I cannot make the flipper nub bigger. I really like the design of the knife and the feel in my hand so I tried to put some oil on the mechanism to free it up a bit but no dice. I’ve messed with it too much trying to get it looser that the micarta is not starting to age so I don’t feel comfortable trying to return it—I should have just put it back in the box and sent it back. I expect way more from a $100 knife and especially one made in Italy. I guess I have a project to disassemble and modify this knife to work better.
