Love the way it looks. Opening is a little different. With thumb flip, a little wrist flip helps a lot. Finger over top flip, don't press too hard. I think Metal Complex had a review that said the design of the clip should be straight to give your fingers a better grip. That is true. I would have no complaints if the clip gave a better grip for your fingers. The slots on the bolsters help with the grip for opening. The blade is beautiful and cuts really well. Look at the CF in the sunlight at different angles. Very nice. Buy it now! It will be a favorite!
