This is an interesting knife in that it's new, is the first of two *American-made* Columbia Rivers (all prior ones were/are foreign-made), and it's the first of two CRKTs (the "Voodoo" and the "Wild Weasal") which are assisted-opening, a la Kershaw/Ken Onion and the newish SOG folders. Either can be had with plain edge or combo plain & serrated - I got the plain one.

It is really easy to open. I can't decide if I think it's ugly or pretty. But either way, I like it. It is very solid feeling; definitely on the heavy side of things, which can be good or bad depending on mission/use. It is expensive though (for a CRKT that is), but to me worth it being American made. One drawback is that it does NOT have the CRKT LAWK system, as an extra lock on the locking liner, like my M16 and other CRKTs.
