Nice blade could be better Don’t carry as a Neck knife you’ll loose it
Got this to function as a neck knife, it would have been great considering how light and as I like having a finger choil and a thumb ramp especially on small knives as it gives you retention to keep your hand from sliding forward and back. The finger choil and thumb ramp are a little to small personally, as someone who wears a medium sized Mechanix gloves. You will find the thumb ramp nice on this if you do wear gloves because it bites into gloves better than a smooth thumb ramp. The heat treat on this blade seems good, on the harder side. As an example it took longer to sharpen than s30v on Benchmades. I did have a chip in the edge when it fell out of the sheath. The sheath is garbage, when I first got it it wasn’t fit correctly and would remove tons of material from the sheath as it went in. It wasn’t a clean in you really had to use two hands to line this thing up perfectly to get it in while at the same time the knife would fall out if you jump out of the back of your truck. I think part of the reason for this is they style of sheath (they should have done a taco style” and the fact that they didn’t chamfer the edges on the thumb ramp or finger choil, I think this was a missed opportunity as they did chamfer other edges. I turned this knife into an appendix belt carry utilizing a Tek Lok and it is working well. You will need to sharpen this knife. Also I know small knife and big hands don’t seem to get along but I think good design can overcome this...this knife is good in hammer grip and reverse grip. Saber grib is going to really depend on your hand it’s only okay in mine, forward grip edge up isn’t comfortable at all but you can do it. If I lost it would I buy it? No.
