Good points:The steel is very good.There's not much wasted steel in the blade- the edge runs up close to the handle. The blade lock is very secure- there's no chance of accidently releasing the lock. There's no side-to-side wobble of the blade (it feels almost like a fixed blade knife) yet it opens fairly easily. The knife can be disassembled via 7 torx screws which are secured with Locktite.In all these regards I think it's much better than the Gerber 06050 Ultralight LST Folding Knife with Fine BladeBad point:The back of the handle is open!I'm constantly detangling it from dimes and sometimes keys in my pocket. Not so good for the edge and- more importantly to me- it's really aggravating.It would have been easy and cheap for Gerber to close the opening. I'd give the knife a 5 star rating if not for this.
Minor quibbles:The product description says, "Thumb slot for one-hand opening". This is difficult to do due to the narrowness of the handle.It can be done, but it takes a far amount of resolute practice.The black finish on the handle doesn't last long- it's wearing through in places on mine after less than a month.This doesn't bother me.
