Beautiful blade shape and handle material with good (but not snappy) open action. Easy access to lock bar and great finger choil. Almost a 5 rating if not for the blade tip being a little too exposed when closed.

This knife is a work of art! The picture doesn't do it justice as the contours of the handle and the highlights of the carbon fiber don't really come out. The action is superb and the blade is incredibly stabby and sharp. I would buy this again and might just pop the extra money for the red carbon fiber.

Good value for $80.
Comfortable in hand, smooth deployment, attractive handle, pocket clip, and blue accents.
Weird grainy blade exterior that is hard to clean with a cotton rag. Enclosed cleaning cloth works better.
Blade bevel is tiny, and it is unusually dull for a new knife.
Noticeable blemish on the anodized pivot ring. Not good!!
