I like the looks of this. It was a bit stiff OOTB. It has loosened up a bit over the last few days. I managed to cut my thumb while opening it. Needless to say, it was one of the sharper knives OOTB that I have purchased. The lock up is just shy of 50%. It is rock solid when open. It unlocks very easily. The pocket clip tension is good. Just a tad of the end of the scale is visible when it is in my pocket. The blade is 0.02" and change behind the edge. The range was 0.0210" to 0.025". This is certainly going to get some pocket time. In deference to Nick S., the only thing approaching ugly was that the color was a bit greyer than shown here. It is still quite blue. I'm not. I am very happy to have this one.

Excellent fit & finish

This model knife is by far my favorite particularly the damascus model sharp convenient easy to use and just plain good looking .
