Fit and finish are on point. This knife is the chamfer King. The only sharp edge is on the blade, which is very sharp. The Cran Force', notch lock, in English, is exceptionally strong. This is one slip joint that will not accidentally close on your hand. There is a half stop. 7Redi did the best review I've seen on the Gitano. Lionsteel has an assembly video on their website. Search Gitano, click, and scroll down.
