Hi
I think this might be my first post, and I hate it that it has to be like this:
I have an Opera in D2 and G10. I've had it for about a month now, and so far it has been the worst value for money knife I own. At 89 euros it wasn't exactly cheap, and at that price IMHO you should get a pivot screw that doesn't fall off on its own, pocket clip screw that doesn't strip, sharp OOTB blade and now that we are talking about the blade; D2 that holds an edge.
Comparing LS D2 to BM D2, I'd say it's a different steel, and now that I've mentioned BM knives, I keep kicking my self for not buying another Mini Grip or a Mini Axis Stryker as those would have been roughly in the same price range.
Anyways I don't like to dwell on my mistakes, so I've turned it into a project knife: I sanded and polished the scales, threw the (useless) pocket clip away and started to experiment with different edge profiles.
But knowing what I know now, I promise you that my next knife will be a BM!
