Got this knife a few months about and I would say overall the knife is ok but don't expect it to be on the same level as a SOG or other high end knifes. I have to also warn that if you are left handed I would recommend not buying this knife. The knife has a thumb lock only on the right side of the knife. If you are holding the knife in your left hand you can not release the lock with your thumb since your hand is in the way. The only way to do it is to use both hands.
