As expected the handle on this knife is amazing. The material and machined textures feel great. The action is smooth and the tool feels good in hand. It's very slight, but the blade is a bit heavy for my tastes, but I'm sure it depends on the user. I also found the liner lock to be a little slippery when disengaging. Not sure if that's a fluke or part of the design. Ultimately not the best choice for me, but it's still a solid folder.
