I bought this knife because i want a crossbar lock and something with visibly simple. Its heavier and smooth with distinctive clunk from the micarta when you manipulate the blqde vai bar.lock.fidgetable and shart as hell . I sunk a 1/16 of the tip to side of my good knee. It doenst have the x factory but ts cut me so its mine. Its growing but im distracted by new stuff. Worth the buy if dont have a shaman
