Pros: Ease of Opening, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Feel, Handle Material
Disappointing
First I have other Hogue knives and accessories and have a great respect for the company and look forward to purchasing more Hogue products. What I found most odd about the K320A is the inconsistency of its materials, quality and execution of its design. The blade is top of the line, Its tanto design is beefier than most, razor sharp and I personally love it. The action is crazy strong. A little too strong because if you don't hold on tight the knife will fly out of your hand when deployed. The handle material feels cheap and has a lot of flex to it. As I said the deployment spring is very strong and it requires you to squeeze the handle. Doing so can actually interfere with blade deployment. I have a Hogue EX-03 and in pictures the handles look very similar if not the same but thats not the case. The K320A is much lighter, has less abrasive in the grip and the finger groove isn't as deep or long. Because the blade and its deployment mechanism are so big and beefy and the handle is so thin and light it throughs the balance of the knife off when open. I did like the pocket clip. It didn't get in the way when holding the knife like some do, it isn't so strong that it would tear your pants up and the little vents cut into it help get a grip on it. I'm sorry to say I wouldn't recommend the knife to others.
