S35 for this price? Thank you Cold Steel. Yep another reason why White Mountain is my go too knife store, shipping is always fast customer service is top notch. Okay the knife itself yes the triad lock will be stiff as nothing out of the box but will loosen up with use. Sharp is an understatement for Cold Steel out of the box. My only issue is the aluminum scales are slippery with dry hands. Some deck tape for skateboards works perfect, OCD-4-EDC on You Tube has a video about it. Cold Steels are some of the toughest most dependable knifes Ive used.
