This is a well designed knife. The thumb studs work great for thumb and reverse flicking the blade as does the front flipper. Once open the knife is very comfortable in my hand. I am a fan.

If you don't have a front flipper and want to start getting into them, this is the one to get. Excellent design by Sherif Manganas, who really knows how to design a knife that is not only beautiful but functional for your EDC tasks. The ergos are great, has multiple deployment options, and is very snappy with drop-shut action. Mine came a little tight from the factory so I loosened the pivot a touch and then it was even easier to front-flip and it falls shut now. All around an excellent knife at a great price. Pick one up if you can!
