I sent mine back. Unfortunately I couldn't see the quality. Way smaller and tiny than promoted. Clip and bulky handle create a huge hotspot and uncomfortable grip. The liner lock travels way too far over making disengagement a chore as you hit the pocket clip hotspot closing the knife. Action is okay but nothing great. I hate to sound so negative! I was so excited to get one...I've waited so long for it to release. You could imagine once in hand I was really let down. Only my opinion here, that's all. I loved the Southard. The stoutness and how short the handle is really didn't offer a great grip or purchase.
