This knife gets as much pocket time as ones that costed over 10 times as much, literally. This knife is a perfect example of a great design transcending the materials its made from. The thumbstuds work great for thumb deployment or spydie flicking, and the front flipper design is one of the best ive ever experienced on any knife. The heat treatment is excellent, burr removal is totally painless during sharpening. Edge retention is right on par with chinese 14c28n, not amazing but very good when you consider how well it sharpens up and strops back over and over. Lockup is rock solid and the detent is prefectly tuned, bit strong out of the box but once broken in the blade flies open with authority. I cant say enough good things about this knife, if youre looking for a budget beater fidget knife you will absolutely get your $s worth out of this thing. At the price WMK is selling this knife for its an absolute no brainer
