Fantastic knife! The DLC coating is high quality and the G10 handle feels good in the hand despite the handle width (thickness) being thin. The benefit of the thin handle is that the knife practically 'disappears' in the pocket and sometimes I forget that it is even there! One of my favorite folders for sure. The lock is sturdy, and the overall construction is strong and high quality. When the knife is closed, the blade does not sit very far into the handle, giving it a wide and thin profile. Extremely sharp out of the box. A serious knife for serious tasks. Price is justified for this one in my opinion.
