I'll put it this way: it's absolutely awesome, as is usually the case with CRKT. It opens super smoothly, fits perfectly in the hand, and it really gets the job done in everyday use. The blade is solid—you can cut and pry light things without worry. It also looks impressive, with a kind of aggressive vibe. If you like solid EDC gear, you'll be totally satisfied.
Designed by Jon Graham, this foldable EDC knife is also ideally suited for excursions into the field.
The blade, featuring a wharncliffe profile, is crafted from satin-finished 8Cr13MoV stainless steel.
Blade deployment is quick and easy with the integrated flipper; a simple push allows the blade to swing open smoothly. This efficiency is achieved thanks to the ball bearings on the blade's rotational axis (IKBS system) and the added assisted opening feature (Assisted). When closed, the flipper also doubles as a small guard to help prevent fingers from sliding onto the blade. To secure the blade against accidental opening, the knife features a liner-lock mechanism.
An ergonomically shaped handle is constructed from 6061 aluminum, fastened to steel liners for added durability. A sturdy, convertible pocket clip on the handle provides practical attachment options for pocket or gear carry in everyday situations.
The construction utilizes high-grade 6061 aluminum.
A lanyard hole is situated on the handle’s back, allowing a cord to be threaded through for added security against loss, and also features a glass breaker.

Awesome little knife, fits really comfortably in the hand and seriously gets the job done. Opens smoothly, the blade is razor-sharp and a pleasure to use. For this price, it's a hit—looks solid and it's definitely not some cheap supermarket junk. If you like sturdy gear, I totally recommend it.

The knife's finish is beautiful. Everything is solid except for the assist spring. The spring broke inside the handle after about 1 month of use. A disgrace on the part of the manufacturer. I had no desire to return it; instead, I tried to remove the spring and convert the knife to open with a flipper, without assistance. While the main screw came off normally, the two smaller ones near the glass breaker were stripped out by a hardened torx and wouldn't budge. I have zero complaints towards the store; the problem is with the manufacturer.
