I bought this knife and love it. It's very solid, weighty, pocketable, well made, SUPER sharp, and looks great!The shape and hollow grind of the 3" straight-edge tanto blade with its part brushed and part mirror-polish finish, is aggressive, unique, handsome, and top notch. The flipper tab and detent feel great and, coupled with the highly respected, reliable, quick and silky-smooth IKBS ball-bearing system on the pivot, flipping the blade out is a pleasure. The liner lock is very solid with no blade movement vertically or laterally once it snaps into place with a pronounced and satisfying "click."The pivot is large and has a unique, three-layered or stair-step design. It's very solid, adjustable, and beautiful, and is identical on both the back and presentation sides.The frame is actually quite thick and SOLID and makes up the bulk of the knife's weight. It just feels like quality. And the stainless-steel finish is very nice and consistent, front and back. Some of the edges on the body, due to the design, although not sharp, are, in fact, "sharPER" than what I might ordinarily prefer. But it's not what I'd call an uncomfortable knife. It feels quite alright in the hand.With that in mind, please note that it's no heavy duty workhorse of a knife. I'd say it's more of a cross between a very effective EDC and a stylish gentleman's folder of sorts. It's definitely got the looks, yet it's a very usable knife at that.The clip allows for a very low ride in the pocket and in tip-up position (which is preferred by most). Yet most clips on knives are not made very solid and this one is no exception as it leaves much to be desired and is thin and bends out of shape a little too easily. I mean, it's not entirely unfortunate, but CRKT (and most other production knife manufacturers) need to pay far more attention to their clips. So the clip is my only real complaint and, at some point, I'll have a thicker, solid, custom one made.The only other thing I didn't like too much on this knife, was the matte blue finish. It wasn't unattractive, but the shade and texture of the blue did not catch my eye in particular, although the overall design of the knife did. Also, the blue rubs off too easily and is not durable. So, as you can see in the photo I uploaded, I covered those blue sections, front and back, with matte-finish (not gloss), self-adhering 3M DI-NOC black carbon fiber flex wrap (which you can buy here on Amazon for very little cost). I had to make use of a heat-gun (one of which I bought on Amazon for about $30) to make the carbon fiber wrap more pliable and apply it properly into all the nooks and crannies; followed by carefully cutting away the excess with an Xacto knife. Once it cools, the high-quality wrap hardens and is very durable and, not to mention, looks fantastic. To me, it gives the knife a much nicer look and I think CRKT should consider making this the default finish in those sections.To be quite honest, clip and blue-finish sections aside, I'm quite surprised at how much quality CRKT squeezed out of this model at this price point. The blade is south of $40, yet it feels like it's three times as much. I'm very happy with my purchase and I would never hesitate to recommend this company and this particular knife. I own two other CRKT models (a Mah Eraser and a Van Hoy Snap Fire), and they're both great blades. For production knives at the under-$50-price-point, CRKT knows what they're doing.Highly recommended.
