The appeal of the project lies in its small size. Flawless execution, a high level of fit and finish. Centering is superb. The sharpness is almost too good. Practical as an EDC that disappears in the pants pocket. It fits in the fifth pocket of jeans and you practically forget about it. However, the project has a major flaw - it is only equipped with a front flipper. It's difficult to use one-handed because of the very short handle; it's hard to safely rest the knife against your palm while opening. This is somewhat ill-conceived, considering the factory sharpness and the blade geometry, it’s easy to get cut. When pressing the flipper, a lever is created and the knife tends to pop out of your hand. Unfortunately, I have to take away three stars, which is a shame because at first glance it made a good impression. Maybe with more training the situation will improve.

Small, discreet shark tooth. ;) True - it's an expensive toy, but the materials used and the craftsmanship somehow justify the price. You really can always have this little guy with you, and it doesn't bother you even when worn as a neck pendant on a chain. Factory sharp, like crazy. You can get used to the way the blade opens, but people with big hands might have trouble.
