Overall the knife seems to be well made, blade centered and a solid lock up and easy closing, and I like the blade shape, but I would have liked it better if the blade was a little thicker.

The handle fit's nice in the had, but is almost too smooth it does okay, but a little texture at least on a part of the handle would be nice.

The Assisted Opening, don't believe the hype, unless I got an Atypical one. The thumb stud feels like it is a bit too far forward on the blade for easy use, and the assisted opening is a joke, it would have been better not to attempt it until they get the bugs worked out. The assist is there, but it only kicks the blade out to just before the half open point, and that is all there is, more of a hindrance in my opinion. I am used to ZT's and Kershaws that seem to fly open, this is not of that caliber, at all.

Still it seems to be a good solid knife that I do plan on keeping and putting into my rotation, I just whish they would have spent a little more time on R&D before releasing it.
