Miguron opted for an inlay that is raised slightly above the Titanium, and this looks fine with no noticeable difference in sensation when gripping the knife. The action is very smooth after cleaning but not drop shut. Jimping on the blade works well in a normal grip but should have been extended for use with the finger choil. The hollow grind produces a nice thin edge that you typically don't see on other Miguron models. You get a lot for a very reasonable price in this midrange model and that's the reason for 5 stars.
