Despite its small size, the knife feels substantial. The G10 is of very good quality, visually closer to micarta than plastic. Much better than in the Mini Dundee model. The knife's design is refined to the maximum. The lines of the handle and blade, the profiling—they create a consistent, proportional whole. Visually, it's a masterful design. There's no exaggeration, which sometimes happens in Chinese in-house models. In my opinion, the workmanship is better than the comparable Mini Dundee. The centering is perfect. The black coating on the liners, blade, and clip looks good. The short clip, about 4.5 cm long, doesn't dig into the hand and holds the knife well in the pocket. The blade's spine has a thumb cutout in the ideal spot. After pressing the flipper, the knife deploys nicely. The lockbar is not serrated, making it very comfortable. It works well. Holding this model in hand, you can feel the class of the manufacturer and designer, and that it is a valuable product. I think the piece I have surpasses my other knives in this respect, such as Civivi, Kizer, and QSP. Highly recommended. A rare gem.

Effortless deployment of the blade is achieved via a bearing-mounted main axle combined with a flipper, which, once the knife is open, functions as a small cross guard to protect your hand from sliding onto the blade during use. Dependable safety is provided by the robust and straightforward Liner Lock mechanism. Enhanced and faster blade deployment is made possible by integrating a ball bearing into the knife’s main axis.

Nice, feisty little guy. The downward-sloping tip works great for cutting cardboard or other similar materials. Good craftsmanship and mechanics. I recommend it.
