I just unboxed mine. Finish is wonderful, no play in any direction, and the grinds are clean.
The scandi grind easily slices printer paper without any catches.
The handle size is perfect, when clenched in the fist my fingers don't quite meet the base of my hand.
The contours of the scales are great and it feels extremely comfortable.
The lock engages at about forty percent of full travel. Disengagement is a bit sticky, but it can be unlatched and closed with one hand.
There is adequate closing bias and one hand opening is easy if I catch the slot with my thumbnail and then rotate it open.
If you trim your thumbnails very short or if your thumbnails are soft it might be harder to operate one handed.
The jimping is sharp and aggressive but positioned so that it can be avoided if your thumb is tender.
It looks just like the samples and the blueprints.
