Phenomenal knife. Edge was incredible out of box. Hogue fit and finish is great. While this competes with the bugout, the only ergos are a little bit different…slightly more specific where your hands fit vs the more neutral handle of the bugout. However, this is much better in all respects. Less expensive, better factory edge, an incredibly new steel with very promising performance, a coated blade, and a color combo that is standard that is a premium version with other knife companies. This obviously is more edc focused but I’m sure with a Magnacut blade it actually is fairly tough and could take a beating. Only minor drawback is the frn does seem to flex more in hand than the bugout. If they put Magnacut on their g10 version I would think it would crush the market.

Cool steel Upgrade. I like the deep carry pocket clip and hogue makes the best knives for the money imo. Perfect size for daily carry.
