It's like 20/20, but that's after a lifetime of 20/10. Having the Vision r for 2 years prior to compare it to, th fg comes in noticeably thicker in the handle. My specific one came with some lock stick when lightly deployed. I believe it's working that out though, we'll see. I do like the upgrade of jimping on the lock. And of course, the damascus is pretty cool. There is no doubt who designed this(excessive billboarding on the pile side). Just get it.

Smooth action, strong lock up. My favorite EDC blade right now.

I GAVE MY GOOD FRIEND MINE . As a gift .. and have not been able to replace it yet .,,

This knife feels fantastic in hand. Beautifully made. Fun to fidget with. The Damascus is stunning. As good as it gets in this price range in my opinion.
