The online reviews for this knife are very polarizing. 50% say excellent, the other half say, meh. I'm here to say that it is well above excellent. The operation is as well done as any Benchmade. The fit and finish is on par with ZT and Spyderco and it came Cold Steel sharp. Since the majority of the YouTube reviews surfaced, the knife has apparently changed. The backspacer is no longer steel, nor does it protrude from the rear. It is flush and textured FRN. Which I prefer, since it's lighter. The knife as a result is perfectly balanced in hand. The pocket clip is now a traditional clip, not the pen style. Deep carry is for nerds that like to grab their knife twice just to unpocket it once. The back side handle scale is now milled the same as the show side. I literally cannot think of any flaws with this knife. It flips like a dream. WITHOUT bearings! I'm so sick of bearings and carbon fiber! The anodizing, cerakote and machining are absolutely flawless. If you are even considering this knife, just buy it. I can only imagine the non coated blade versions flip even better.

Cons:
Backspacer could be G10 at this price point.
Literally nothing else.

Pros:
Not carbon fiber.
No bearings.
Not titanium.
Not a deep carry clip.
Not over priced M390 or over used S30V
Perfect machining.
USA made.
Descent price. Especially with one of the many 10% off codes here and free shipping.
