If you're right-handed, then expect a thumb open to be less than optimal because the blade hole is very narrow and it's difficult to avoid exerting pressure on the lock bar. On the other hand, the reverse flick is okay if you use the nail of your finger. I find the handle a bit too short. You can ride up on the flat below the pivot but be careful as one slip will put you on the blade. The top flipper works okay, but a rounded extension with more jimping would be better. Action is good, but not great. All in all, this is good value given the blade steel, but not the most ergonomic by any means.

Listen. This is probably the best kubey knife on the market. CM and kubey did a great job. I tested the blade and it is in fact m390. The Titanium scales are a bit soft BUT the flip ability on this knife is solid and it’s a great carry. If you’re on the fence about this one I’d definitely recommend it.
