I don't really understand why in the following reviews the CS Airlite is compared to the Bugout, which is a knife that bends in every direction for light tasks like opening a package with the CS Airlite, for example. Except that it will be its last use, because if you pick up any CS product, you'll forget about the Bugout immediately (I'm not talking about other Benchmade products, some are decent, but this Bugout...). CS Airlite is a great compromise between price and quality, it's a knife with the best lock on the market, a knife that can easily replace a fixed blade knife for many tasks, and there is no 'blade play', so once opened it is rigid. However, it is definitely not a toy for fidgeters, those who like to play with knives – it's hard to open it in one smooth move with the thumb stud (unless someone has "hands like shovels"); the bearing works with quite a lot of resistance – but that's the price you pay for legendary stiffness. I have no complaints about the steel – just watch Joe X's "review." For this price, I don't need anything more.
