First, this knife is appropriately named as the blade thickness is a tad over 4mm - it's a big chunk of N690. Liners are nested and run the full length of the handle, but are exposed and jimped near the blade tang. The G-10 is slightly contoured with chamfered edges and has an attractive grain. The dark blue standoffs are a nice touch of color, and what appears to be a titanium pocket clip is just perfect. I would describe this as a stylish workhorse. The rating is really closer to 4.5 out of 5 only because there is a very slight gap where the liners protrude and transition to the G-10 at the butt of the handle.
