Nice! Opened mine today...smaller than I thought but nice. I assumed it would be small sebenza size but it's just a tad smaller. Very light. Unfortunately the flipping action is medium to weak. I can preload like a Hinderer but all around not great for the price. I'm still a Lionsteel fan....just don't feel like having to ship it to Italy and have to wait some time to carry a new purchase. I'll be sending it back to the dealer.
I ordered mine (TRE Blue) directly from Lionsteel and requested one with a stronger detent for better flipping action. They delivered, and mine flips very well (albeit not as smooth as my Kershaw Blur). The only issue with that is I now cannot flick open the blade using the thumb stud, I have to use two fingers. Not a deal-breaker for me, as I wanted the flipper action (almost all my other knives use the thumb stud opening).
The one other criticism I would give the knife is the sharp edges. The spine of the handle (where your finger hits when flipping open) and the lock bar both have sharp edges. This wears on the fingers if you are flipping the knife open and closed (e.g. playing with it).
Overall though, this is still my favorite knife.
