I love the style of this knife. The lines are elegant and purposeful. The burlap and brass is both classy and rugged. The ball bearing button lock action is as good as it gets. The blade is weighted just right so as to make it a joy to fidget with. Plus, the 154CM has a good balance of edge retention and ease of sharpening.

I had a couple issues, though. First, it has a hidden lanyard pin, but the space around it is way too small to fit Paracord through. I tried putting in some leather cord, but I had to push so hard that I broke the end off of the back spacer. Luckily, I had some super glue handy. The burlap micarta was too fragile to be machined that thin. It essentially makes the lanyard pin useless.
Also, the pocket clip started coming loose after just two weeks. It wouldn't be an issue, except it's blind screwed. I had to fully disassemble the knife just to tighten it. I used plenty of loctite. Hopefully, it won't happen again. I'm assuming this is a QC issue.

Despite these flaws, I'm still glad I got it. It's a fantastic combination of style, utility, and affordability.
