Pros & Cons
Pros
The ceramic bearings on the pivot make it smooth as warm, melty butter. The blade grind itself is uniform and very sharp. The finish of the steel looks great, and it was razor sharp out of the box.
The quality of this knife is fantastic. While such a degree of beauty and perfection may not be necessary in a “pocket knife,” it’s noticeable and pleasing.
Scales are in good shape, blade opens and closes nicely and sits centered in the frame when closed. The satin finish is very nice, the micarta scales feels very nice.
I use this knife a lot and it just keeps going without a hitch. Now that i got a good one, it's a terrific knife - one of my favorites.
The action is snappy, solid, and smooth. Also, the action is flawless. Very fidget friendly.
Cons
This knife is slippery - the micarta handles have no grip at all. The last thing you want when flipping your knife is it to slide out of your grip. Tried a little hoppes 9 to no avail.
Highlights
Quality
The materials are top notch and the quality excellent.
I am very pleased and very impressed.
I can only hope the appearance of quality is echoed in durability and serviceability over time.
The materials are of high quality, and the overall fit and finish is outstanding.
Price
It’s hard to beat this brand for quality and price.
Shipping
Tl;dr: elementum is unassuming, fast, sharp, and lightweight.
The pivot works like butter and feels fast- faster than my kershaw brawler, at least.
Packaging/appearance
Of the many modern knives i own this one is the smoothest out of the box.
Extra bonus for the excessive case , packaging and stickers etc.
First, the ceramic bearings on the pivot make it smooth as warm, melty butter right out of the box.
Competitiveness
I wanted one in the olive micarta.
Even over a benchmade that costs 3x as much.
It's also about the same size and nearly as light as my benchmade which cost 4x as much.

I returned mine due to an apparent liner lock defect
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It was only engaging about 50 of the liner lock and would only be solid if pushed or hard snapped open

Liner lock doesnt stick out very far so it is a little hard to get to with your thumb and was damaging my thumbnail trying to reliably get to it

Hard to see so i highlighted the edges of the blade vs liner lock in the pic

It feels great in the hand lightweight and the blade holds true not tracking left or right on opening or closing
