This is a very beautiful knife. The satin blade is very shiny and sharp. The brass scales are attractive and understandably heavy; if you are used to light knives this might not work well as an EDC. My only complaint is that the blade would not flick open all the way when it arrived a couple of weeks ago. I put some lube on the pivot and now it will flick open into the locked position, but not as easily or smoothly as I would expect. I’ve been flicking it hundreds of times in the hopes that it will break in, but there has been no improvement since lubing it.
