This knife brings a bold profile and comfortable ergonomics to a full-sized folder. The broad drop-point blade gives plenty of cutting authority, and the handle shape offers solid purchase even when wearing gloves. I appreciate how the ambidextrous pivot-style lock allows easy opening and closing with one hand. With an overall length of about 229 mm, blade length roughly 99 mm, closed length near 130 mm, and weight around 153 g, it feels substantial yet well balanced.
The glass-filled nylon handle scales keep weight reasonable while adding grip texture and durability. I find the deep belly of the blade particularly useful for slicing tasks, whether working around camp or managing heavier utility chores. Care is straightforward: keep the edge sharp, wipe the blade after moisture, and add a drop of oil to the pivot.
If you want a confident full-sized folder with a smooth action and comfortable grip, this is a compelling option while stock is available.
