I purchased this primarily because of the styling,...long , thin, and straight. The good: appearance, pretty sharp blade, light weight, deep carry clip, the intense blue is outside the color palette of my other knives. The concern: I became pretty good with the front flipper using my thumb but can rarely open it with my index finger. When I manage to open it with my index finger it is very fast. Practice, practice. I suggest practicing so when the knife slips it won’t fall on your feet or legs or on concrete. The problem: the scales are very slippery. That’s not good because there is no finger guard. There are those who say to add skateboard tape but that is ugly. I’m not planning to use it for stabbing motions. Regardless, I still like the knife and would recommend it despite the slippery scales.

This might be the best buget gentlman's knife of the decade for that matter. The blade steel at this price is awesome and RSK has done a very good job with bringing it with a very sharp edge. If you don't like this colour there are others or you can even get it with aluminum handles. Super light weight and a good grip in the hand. You get a knife from a very good designer: Ostap Hel, and a quality product that you can use and be proud of for a long time.
This knife should not be easily pushed aside. Take a second look and then click on "Add to Cart" you won't be disappointed.
