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.

Hawkbill blade, stainless steel14C28N, jimping
Featuring a Hawkbill style blade, crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel for superior hardness and enhanced resistance to corrosion. The blade is sharpened with a flat grind profile. Its surface is treated with the Black Stonewash finish. To boost blade control during cutting tasks, jimping (notched patterns) is positioned on the spine where the thumb naturally rests.
flipper, Liner Lock
Smooth deployment of the knife is achieved thanks to a ball-bearing pivot and a flipper, which, when the blade is open, serves as a small guard to prevent your hand from slipping onto the blade during use. Secure operation is guaranteed by the dependable and user-friendly Liner Lock. A ball bearing installed in the main axis enhances and speeds up the opening mechanism.

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