Nice solid budget product. Micarta is very well done, blade shape, and sharpness is excellent. Smooth opening with flipper or thumbstuds. The button lock is a little sticky if I push it with the edge of my thumb, but a flat depress and it is smooth. Lock up is great, no bladeplay. I suspect the button lock will wear in. I also suspect this is just a QC issue with a budget knife and not indicative of the line as a whole. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.
