Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Sheath

Fancy knife

Materials are great. premium handles and a premium steel. Fit and finish is amazing, everything fits and feels great, haven't had a single copper wire poking it's way out. The jimping is on the spring (as it should) and not on the spine of the knife. And the rope-like file work on the bottom of the spring is fantastic. Now comes the spring itself, it's quite hard to disengage, providing more security for your fingers, however, it's just as difficult to deploy the blade. It also has a half-stop, which doesn't quite make sense to me. Because it stops right were your index finger will be and, given how strong the spring is, it will dig right into your finger. I would much prefer if it had a 2/3 stop instead. Also, the sheath is not excellent, it's sof leather, but mine came with a gap, not great qc on it. Lastly, this is a true nightmare to take apart, the spring will very easily knock the pins out of place and won't let them back without a fight. Overall, I really like it and can recommend it, just keep in mind this is not the easiest knife to open and to not throw too hard of a job at it.

Quite elegant, but needs some changes

Overall, it's a great knife, it's sleek, slim, elegant, has great materials, the CF reflects nicely in the sun, M390 is a great steel and it has a strong spring that makes it difficult for it to close on you. However, there are two things I really didn't like: 1.- At least mine, is an absolute nightmare to put back together, as the strenght of the spring just makes everything a pain to align or to keep in place 2.- This really should have a 2/3 stop instead of a half-stop, as your fingers would be placed exactly where te blade would land if the task at hand made this thing close on you. And, due to the same strenght of the spring, I'm pretty sure it would drive the blade really deep into your finger, which could be easily avoided if the blade stopped sooner
