I've wanted a Kizer Begleiter 2 for a while so the recent price drop at WMK opened the door for one at a great price. I can confirm that the thumbstud action is as good as people have said. It is relatively lightweight and for my XL hand is comfortable and perfectly sized for EDC. The linen Micarta is the best in the business, Kizer nailed that too. Very glad to have picked one up. It is a classic and will get pocket time for sure.
