Nice, but needs a few adjustements
I use this as a small utility knife, with the intention of adding an Ulticlip to pocket carry. The steel, 14C28N, has worked well for me. No issues so far with edge retention, general durability, or sharpness. The ergonomics are good, bearing in mind it's size; this simply isn't and can't be a heavy work knife, but it's great for opening boxes, cutting straps and rope, and other such work while still being smaller than a "full size" knife. The sheath is generally good, not too large, good retention without being excessive. This is the first knife I've had with denim micarta scales, but at least so far I like the material: grippy, but without the harshness of knurled scales. There are two improvements that could be made are the jimping and sheath rivets. The jimping is too smooth, my thumb tries to slip off if I try to use it; this is a DIY soluble problem, but it'd be nice to not have to do so. The sole problem--at least for my case--with the sheath is that the internal diameter of the rivets is too small for the Ulticlip screws; again, DIY fixable but something it'd be nice to not have to do.
