So mine are in and I'm pretty impressed overall.
I'll start with the bad. Detents are way too strong. Its not as much a problem in the arrow as the pelican. It makes it difficult to wave open. On the other hand, when you get past that detent, they fly out as if assisted. Also, ugly clip.
Everything else is thoroughly impressive. Both handles are nice and solid, good fit and finish. The g-10 is the perfect amount of grippy, while the carbon fiber is plasticky laminate, but i could tell that from the pics online anyway, so im not upset.
Action is very smooth. Lock up is solid with not a bit of play and liners lock at about 50-60%.
That brings me to the blades. Holy crap, they knocked both outta the park!
The pelican is smoothly done, with the full blade thickness being preserved by the unique grind/blade design, despite the wave like cut out. Somehow it still feels nice and thin behind the edge and would cut an apple or other rigid materials without too much wedging. Sharp as can be.
The arrow is just a gorgeous blade IMO. Despite the dagger grind, it isnt too thick for edc use. I'm pretty excited to see how it does cutting different media.
Oh yeah, the front choil on the blades could be better. It doesnt fit my finger, so you cant choke up like you would on a spyderco with a 50/50 choil. I thought it would when i saw it.
Overall, i feel i got my money's worth. While not perfect, im very happy with these blades, especially at the price point. Finally, I always judge a brand by how it creates a unique product, and would say I think they have brought some fantastic blade designs and pulled them off particularly well.
Hope others like theirs as well. Interested to see other opinions.
