This is my first EDC. So far, I am very satisfied – the knife is solid, well-made, and very sharp. You can feel that it's quality equipment. A great start in EDC.

Knife – a beast. My favorite EDC (I carry it every day). Its lock is second to none in terms of strength. In addition, the design allows you to open and close the knife with full control. No chance of accidental opening, which makes it very safe. The knife consists of 10 parts. You can easily take it apart, clean, oil, and reassemble it. Despite its size, it's quite flat. Sharpens well, and edge retention is at a good level. Personally, I find it comfortable to use. The only folding knife I would trust in the field. One note: I don't recommend prying with it. The steel is quite hard and the tip is heavily tapered.

Interesting locking mechanism! That's what tempted me to buy it. The handle has average ergonomics. Opening with one hand is relatively difficult, folding is almost impossible. Durable but slow knife.

The knife is a blast, but the handle gets uncomfortable in the hand during prolonged use…

The knife is a blast, but the handle becomes uncomfortable during longer use. The steel edges dig into your hand. I'm looking for a way to fix it, but I haven't figured it out yet, since the blade hiding mechanism complicates things a bit. But the knife itself is fantastic. It sharpens quickly and handles huge loads. It also works well with hard wood, but that takes some skill.

Solid knife. Solid brand. Fits everything!

Large knife. Interesting lock. That's why I bought it. The steel could be better, but it's easy to sharpen to razor-sharpness.

Strong knife, very strong lock, so there's no fear it will accidentally fold during tougher tasks.

Probably a very underrated knife. Not everyone can close it, and that's a big plus.

Great knife. It's a surprise that you can get a piece of decent steel for such money. An uncompromising knife, not for fidgeters or those who like to 'shoot' knives or folder enthusiasts. It's a knife for hard work, for the whole day or for a trip. Folding it is not dangerous at all, you just have to be consistent and do it properly. In low temperatures, because of the handle, only use with gloves. Super knife, you'll stop using overpriced knives and feel like a man ;)

The best folding knife for me. The weight and dimensions of the knife when unfolded are impressive. Beautiful raw look. The lock works perfectly. Definitely for tougher jobs. Factory sharp. You can attach the knife to your pants with a clip. Amazing for its price range. A true workhorse. Highly recommended!

A true workhorse.

Very well made. Really solid knife. You can feel it in your hand.

Probably the most durable folding knife in its price range. Used like a fixed blade knife, and I still couldn't wear it out. Buying a second one because I lost the first, but as a folding workhorse it has no equal.

Solid, big knife, which I like. Secure lock. You have to get used to the knife to get comfortable with the lock. I recommend it.
