Pros: Weight, Blade Material, Overall Quality
Cons: None

not perfect but not bad

I picked up this knife as an alternative to a barlow that was out of stock by the same company.It's pros are that it's a very appealing looking carbon bladed slipjoint stockman with very good fit and finish at a very affordable price made here in the USA and more importantly to me in my home state of NY.The only problems I had with it were the blade grinds were a bit uneven and it came with a jagged edge.A little time on the spyderco sharpmaker fixed that though(except for the spey it refuses to sharpen up right).The other problem is that it has relatively weak springs at least in comparison to a SAK but this seems to be a common trait with US made slipjoints I don't know why.Overall I'm happy with my purchase. some info not in listing Blades measurements: Clip:2 1/2" Sheepsfoot:2" Spey: 1 7/8" Weight:2.3 oz

Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material
Cons: None

disappointed

The edges are so horrible and uneven that I can call the main blade ruined. The back springs are very weak. The blades are the thinnest so far I've seen on this size stockman knife. This knife belongs to a gas station counter, bargain bin, or a dollar store. I wanted to like this knife because of the carbon steel blades, but I can see that the Chinese knives I bought from a big box or hardware stores were better quality. I'll stick with the few trusted manufactures for future.
