Sorry no pics right now.
First off I think this knife is thinner behind the edge than any knife I've ever seen. I don't have calipers.
The fit is superb. The finish is good too although the easy-to-see locking liner is somewhat roughly finished. It has sanding lines going in different directions.
The clip seems to work well. The ball detent seems like it has the right strength.
Here is the one thing that concerns me. The tang - serving as the surface for the liner engagement - is not ground to its full width. It's ground about 3/4 of the width. I don't think I've ever seen that on a liner lock and I wonder if it was a mistake. I would think that the life of the lock is reduced because of this.
