Yes, its a great knife, in fact I have it with me right this moment. That said, I don’t like it much. Let me explain that dichotomy.
The clip is terrible. I think if I made one out of a wet noodle it would hold up as well under abuse as this thing. I’ve had to take mine off and fix it no less than three times in probably 3 months worth of wearing (I rotate knives, so I couldn’t tell you for sure how long the clip last other than its far less than most other knives). The clip is too low to make drawing the knife easy. The low placement does provide good concealment, but I’ve seen better knife and clip designs that accomplish both concealment and easy drawing. The “flare†at the end of the clip is too pronounced to be comfortable when gripping the knife tightly (lefties probably wouldn’t have this problem). All around horrible engineering when it comes to the clip.
The placement of the thumb stud is not well meshed with the placement of the clip. When the knife is out a more forward grip hides this. Pull the knife out of your pocket/pants/whatever and it becomes more obvious. I have fairly large hands, but I can’t get a deep enough grip on the knife (when pulling it out of my pocket) to open the blade without readjusting my hold once the knife is in my hand. Of course if you like to flip the blade open then this wouldn’t be an issue.
The width of the closed knife is atrocious. This knife takes a reasonable blade width, and a pretty slim handle but couples them together in a manner that adds way too much width to it closed, IMHO. I carry knives in my pocket and this knife takes up a LOT of room in there. I have bigger knives that take up far less.
Now this complaint is a personal thing, and I’d bet not too many other people feel strongly about it like I do, but it is a negative in my book. This knife contains no less than 4 different screw head sizes. I got used to knives using torx-head screws a long time ago (even though I dislike the practice), but this one uses four! Obviously knives will require different size screws, however the heads can still be made “user†friendly by requiring only one or maybe two different screwdrivers, and even better by using screws that non-tool type people have in their house somewhere. My assortment of tools is fairly extensive, and can usually handle anything I need, but I still had to go buy another torx-head screwdriver. In fact, the smallest size isn’t even one you can get at any normal tool supply location. Again, a very poor design feature.
On the positive side, the knife is a beast. Very solid lockup. Very solid construction. Very solid materials. As I said, I use the knife and I’m happy with the fact that I bought the knife, but it has some serious failings. Of course, I have almost never owned or even seen the knife that has managed to get all the engineering aspects completely right.
