11/5/22 This is an exceptional budget knife. The G10 handle is contoured and feels really good. The action is really nice with great flipping action and a solid dropping blade. Yes, it's fun to deploy with good sound. This knife has a good cut out to easily unlock the blade. The coated blade steel of 154-CM
is a definite value upgrade. The knife would be heavy for summer shorts but great for Jeans. The heft of this knife I associate with the quality of build and usefulness. After all I would rather lose this than my Olamic Cutlery or Chavez knife. This knife is a functional user at a great price.

Another nice fairly budget Kizer knife. Good steel, sharp out of box, smooth as glass on the bearings. Easy to carry, with good ergos. Flips open like lightning. Can't complain, and I am happy with my purchase. Good sized EDC. However, it is not 8.70 inches overall as it is listed. I want to say right around 8 inches. I don't have it in front of me right now. I tend to carry folders from 7.5-8.3 inches in overall length.
