Classy looking knife that loves to work. M4 is tough and the hollow grind makes it cut like butter. No issues with the liner locker here, the more it gets used the smoother it is. Would I love to see a compression lock on this absolutely but its fantastic as it is. Taichung spydies always come QC very nicely too!

Very good user knife. Light, grippy, comfortable, razor thin behind the edge and veeeery sharp.

I haven't had a big issue with the liner lock access or the partially blocked hole, but then I don't spend a lot of time figdeting with this one.

Only complaints: As others have repeatedly said, the sharpening choil is off and there's an ever so slight recurve in the edge there. Also the detent is super light. Doesn't seem to be a problem, but I can see how it would be in some circumstances, like putting it in your pocket backwards.

First Impressions here!

Would be a phenomenal knife but it fall short on the crappy execution of the liner lock. Spyderco‘s are known for being able to open and close with one hand. This knife requires two hands to close. The access to the liner lock is very difficult doing it with one hand. It can be done but after a few opening and closing your thumb really starts to hurt you. The way it’s designed it’s meant to be closed with two hands.
