The blade has a nice even stonewash that's attractive with this color option. The handle design gives a sense of motion and a 3-D vibe. Thin nested liners and 0.16-inch aluminum slabs make for a solid, but lightweight knife. When using the stud and a reverse flick to open, the spring tension is just right - using the stud and thumb requires a bit of wrist to open. Blade sharpness is just average for Vosteed. I'm curious why there's a lanyard hole in the scales when there is an extra pin for a lanyard next to the back standoff - guess you have a choice, but it would be more attractive without the holes! Otherwise, another great knife by Vosteed.
