Unbelievable At This Price
In all seriousness, I double checked that I received the right thing after handling this knife. I couldn't believe it was less than $100. The machining and fit are excellent. Operation is buttery smooth and it locks up with zero play. The quick change pocket clip is a definite bonus as a lefty and I've had no issues with it coming loose. If the steel holds up like the s35vn they claim it's similar to, this in my opinion is the best budget knife on the market.

Awesome value!
I purchased this because I own the 901s and this looked like the perfect upgrade. It has been everything I hoped for, it wasn’t expensive and it has excellent steel, fit, and finish. I plan on getting more SRMs in the future.

Fantastic knife
Wow like this knife. It is smooth when deployed or when closing. Opens with a cool breeze and closes like a soft pillow. The blade is surprisingly sharp straight out of the box. I mean sharp. The sharpenest is what I try to get all my knives to achieve to and don't. The handle with the inlay G10 feels superb. This is my second SRM and so far 2 for 2. It's light, smooth, sharp, center, light, and perfect in the pocket. Checks all the boxes. This blade material is a great choice.
