Bestech does it right. This is an exceptional knife. The action, blade centering, lockup, sharpness are all spot one. The 'black' micarta is very well done and is more of a coffee been dark brown. Gorgeous. The knife is not very heavy and somewhat slim and easy to carry. Pocket clip is deep carry rt. side tip up and comes with drop cut outs. Not sure about these but its different. This is my fourth bestech including the lizard, toucan and fin. All are excellent.
