A solid knife, a very aesthetically pleasing knife – the picture does not reflect the beauty of the blade and the knife as a whole. In my opinion, it is highly underrated by the "knife community." CS folders with a 5.5 inch blade are considered "just big knives," but this one deserves the popular term "pocket sword." Great for lighter cleaning tasks (paper, cardboard, foil, textiles) as well as in the kitchen. Among all the folders of this brand that I own, this one has the stiffest lock; it required leaving the knife half-open for several hours a day to loosen up. As with other large CS folders, the main element of the TriAdLock lock required grinding the surface that touches the main blade due to visible marks from cutting/processing this part – fine longitudinal grooves caused audible and noticeable friction when opening the knife. It did not significantly affect the knife's "action," but it might bother some (personally, I like smooth knife operation and I tend to fix such things). If you have spare funds and find a promotion—I definitely recommend adding this model to your collection. (There is also a version with a smooth blade, without serrations.)
