As some reviewers have mentioned, the blade shape resembles the Goblin. However, IMO this is an improvement over the Goblin because of the thumb hole, styling and size. The pocket clip flows well with the handle design, and it seems to do the job. Ergos are good if you use the finger choil; otherwise, you're too far from the blade. A couple of minor complaints: The red in the CF inlay is practically invisible and the detent favors a middle finger flick to the detriment of a flipper open. Despite these little nitpicks I'm still happy with the model, and the size is just about perfect.
