This is a solid little knife. Is the finish as nice as the ones made in Colorado, no. I have it 4 stars because of that. Had the edges around the hole and spine of the knife been completely smooth (not the blade, of course) I would have gone with a 5 because it is a little tank of a knife. I am looking forward to carrying it when I just don’t want to carry the Tenacious or PM2. It will do most of the edc tasks just fine.
