This has become my favorite Twosun I own. For a knife that only opens with thumbstuds its as smooth as glass and thats an understatement. The blade came shaving sharpe and I just love the blade shape. The micarta isnt really grippy its almost smooth, which I have no problem with. I have carried this more lately than any other knife I own and If you decide to get one you'll understand why. Shipping was super fast as always from WMK, my favorite site onlune for buying knives since I found it
