This is a huge bang for the buck knife. I always tune my knives up when I get them. The one I got was fairly oily, ( not Two Sun oily but close). Budget liner lock knives often need their lockbars adjusted. Real thumb shredders until you dial them back. Once this knife had that adjusted, was cleaned and lubed with knife oil it was darn near fall shut and a real snappy deploy. And reeeeeeal sharp. Yeah buddy, this one delivers big time for the price. Some of the titanium model rubbed off on this one.
