So I was tormented on which one to get. Small or large. Since I couldn't find much on which one was best for me, I sprung for the large...oh boy.
First off, this knife is nice. F&F is really good. Ano color is top notch.
Ergos are superb.
This is a large knife. Some comparisons.
Ok, here are some tips &/or extra info.
1) Detent is dialed in. Can open & close left handed. I'm right hand dominant.
2) Lack of jimping is not lacking. Lack of jimping on flipper tab is no concern for me. Just get a good purchase on the tab & blamo, she flies out. Not having jimping pecking my pocket hand helps.
3) Blade stonewash is very similar to CRK. Nice.
4) Was not gritty, so no need to disassemble.
5) It's a sharpening choil, not a finger choil. I can't tell you how many knives I've had to increase the ever so small sharpening choil. I like em to be free of the plunge grind. It helps.
6) Pocket clip isn't that bad. Is it deep carry? No. Is it a hot spot? Nope.
7) Could the pocket clip insert be Ti & ano the same color? Sure. Doesn't bother me.
8) Finger choils are my jam!
No blade play, no lock rock & the edge is semi polished. The only thing this one could use would be a little detent ramp on the tang. Of course 95% of all my knives get this modification.
This one is so good, I'm springing for the small. Time to make some room in the collection!
