I like the ergonomics and light weight. The locking system looks good and solid but the thin unlined G10 neck where the lock bar studs rest would probably break off if you used this knife hard. I would not baton with this knife.
Assembly and disassembly is a royal pain that requires clamping parts and manipulation of the lock bar pin to install the lock assembly, omega springs, and blade, an assortment of parts just waiting to spring loose and fly all over the place at the slightest nudge.
The action is not slick and if the blade pivot screw is a little too loose in addition to side to side blade play you also get loose lock up with blade rock.
It's expensive, one glance tells you it's got Spydero's name written all over it, is original, and functions great.
I wonder if there could be a way make a stronger neck without significantly altering it's overall ergonomics. I am happy with it so far.
It does not look like an easy design to make.
