Nice Option

This has become one of my favorite folders. Love the narrow design as well as not having a thumb stud on the blade. Nice solid construction with a great sized blade and geometry. Super smooth opening and closing with solid lock up every time. Fairly quiet operation compared to a lot of folding knives I've used when opening. Doesn't have an overly loud, attention grabbing metallic snap to it. Definitely fidget friendly. Blade coating is holding up extremely well, looks like I haven't used it at all. Takes a razor sharp edge. Haven't carried any 440 Stainless blades in about 15 years until this one. Metallurgy is excellent, easily sharpens up as good as any of my S30VN, S35VN, CPM154 and 14C28N blades (Except for the S35VN Exskelibur I, that thing is straight razor sharp with the way the blade is ground, kind of curious how the D2 versions are). The grip you have on the knife with both the jimping on the blade spine and milling in the G10 scales is better than any other folder I have. The G10 milling also helps keep the knife from sliding around or out of your pocket no matter what type of material it's clipped in. Don't have to worry about loosing it when riding motorcycles or when out in the woods. Stays nice and deep in the pocket, hardly noticeable with the thin black clip, almost pen like for those who don't want much attention drawn to what's clipped on their pocket.
