This is a very good knife. It's very well put together and it looks amazing with the wood scales. The liner lock is released with a large and convenient tab. It's quite sharp and has a unique coating on the metal that has a texture to it. It almost looks like Damascus would look. It was tight to open and I like using the finger flip to open one handed with a small wrist flick so I loosened the screw a bit and now it's perfect for me. It comes in a nice velvet type draw string bag also. It feels good in the hand too being heavier than most knives it's size. I am very happy with it and am positive you would be too. It also would make a great gift for someone.
