This is a weird one to review. As time goes on, it's value rating should go down & that's because as time goes on, its value should & does continue going up, which decreases its value.

It's getting to be too expensive of a knife to use on a regular basis.

It is comfortable in the hand & it's narrow top & blue color blends in nicely in the pocket. In fact, many people think it's a tool or something (Not a knife).

The compression lock is very strong & ambidextrous, however, they do seem to wear quicker than other locks.

The handle's 5", which is nice & comfortable & lends itself to self defense W/O opening the blade. However, the sharp Wharncliffe blade is great for cutting, but it is on the short side (Less than 3").

I really like this knife & mine has a wave modded on the blade, but as time goes on, better choices (& less expensive) are being made.

Still, if you can find a good deal for one, it's worth picking up.
