Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The fit and finish is really good and i feel that the price was fair. The wood grain this knife features is absolutely beautiful as well. Fit & finish is perfect!

The action on this folder is excellent. There is one thing that i could complain about but by no means is it a deal breaker. I have similar knives from buck knives, a company i really like, who stands behind their product. Fantastic knife and company....  Read More

Axis locks are the easiest locking mechanism to use because you use the full griping strength of your thumb and forefinger. The axis lock is awesome, as well. Locks in place with an audible and very satisfying click.

The blade is very sharp and works well for an edc knife. Blade length under 3 inches makes this a great edc if the thumb studs don't frustrate you.

The north fork opens smoothly and locks up quite well. It's as fast opening and easier to close than assisted/automatics. Such smooth-n-easy one handed opening & closing action.



Cons

The pocket clip cannot be utilized at all, if you have this knife.
