While it is expensive, once you get it in your hand you will see the value here. The fit and finish is exceptional. The ergonomics are perfect. The size and proportions are perfect for an EDC, and I love the blade shape! The IBBL feature is something I need to get used to. As I do not flick my lockback knives open ever, this feature is lost on me. But I am super pleased with this knife overall. Get one - you deserve it! And WMK is the best place to buy all your knives.
