Absolutely love mine. The ultimate Gentleman's knife. Slim footprint, but just enough weight to feel in your hand. Wonderful for office settings or formal wear. Deseret (looks like a quality pen in your shirt pocket.) Non threatening yet effective. I own several. Coworkers loved mine do much I ended up gifting a few for the holidays. (Getting another 2 to gift this yr) Better than almost all the Gentleman's Knives I've tried at a reasonable price point. (Wish they'd come in a deep navy color...fingers crossed)

Great design for pocket or desktop. New flipper model is a brilliant upgrade. Quality is very good. Reputation for stiff action is overdone but design for pressing the frame lock and stiffness of the lockbar engagement make releasing to close blade quite challenging. I think, like others have reported, that time and/or a good strip-n-clean will solve that condition. Overall a great item and a welcome addition.
