Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
Two Handed Gentleman's carry...that locks open.
First off. Don't let the thumb stud/bar fool you. I think this knife is still intended to be two hand open. Left handed you can slow roll it. Right handed you can thumb flick, but it is a little rough using the bar. Where the stud/bar shines is with the knife open. it is the perfect thumb ramp! The fuller is great and functions to purchace on the opening. I moved the Bar just a tinge forward to give me a little more leverage and clearance from the Lock bar. You give up a slight bit of blade but I think this is where nature intended it to be. I wanted to test the blade steel. I am not a fan of D2 because of where I live...The Aloha State of Rust. But I figured I'd give the K110 a try (slightly improved stainless from it's D2 brother or D2 just re-named by bohler? I'll know soon enough). The stock is thin and the grind is sharp out of the box. It's slices like a dream. My thumb can attest to that with a lttle "hello, there, yes I'm pretty sharp," love cut. I am blood brothers with this knife now. Drop point? ehhhhh...slight drop with a little clip, flip a coin, but again...thin, slicy and edc chores, yes absolutely. I dig the jimping on both the spine and bottom of the blade. subtle yet functional. It indexes very well. The weight is not bothersome, but it's not ultralight either. The action is...well, if you think of it as a two hand opener, you will be happy (original Luna, that locks). If you think of it as a thumstud fidgeter, you might be disappointed. ("ECO" = Bronze washers) Detent may loosen up some I'm hoping. What this is, is a gentlaman's carry. The bronze scales with the copper is beautiful. For the price, this is an elegant and gentleman's folder that doesn't break the wallet. I'm lovin it. Time will tell if the steel and the humidity can get along.
