I was not expecting this much quality for the amount I paid. The ceramic bearing action is so smooth that flicks with either thumb or index finger feel almost assisted. A very satisfying lock sound too. The blade has no lateral movement when locked or beforehand. Centering is perfect. The green 'gmascus' scales feel great to touch, naturally resistant to slip and look as good as in the photos. I find the back of the flipper also makes a great surrogate choil for choking up on the blade when you need that control.
I got the stonewashed finish, and it looks as good as the finish on my top end Spyderco Techno.
Handling and balance is excellent, and the factory edge is just right for a blade of this dimension and application. I look forward to honouring that edge with care on my sharpening bench.
The only thing I'll change is swap out to a deep carry wire clip.
Very, very happy with my purchase.
