I recieved the knife a little quicker than anticipated. While testing it for sharpness I discovered that it was very much the thing I was testing for, right out of the box. The knife slices through receipt paper like it's mad at it.Next, I went out to process some cardboard boxes with it. It took to that work very well, excelling at several approaches to cutting up corrugated packaging. There's a lot of steel behind the edge, and a generous belly to the blade.After that exercise, I stropped it a couple times on denim and retested the edge against receipt paper. Still very slicey. This is a good working knife.The action is great, but the one-handed deploy takes some getting used to. It drops shut easily. The pocket clip is good and can be reversed for left pocket carry. The blue micarta is very handsome and I didn't notice any hotspots through switching grips. I really like the placement of the lanyard attach. It's heavier than a lot of EDCs, but it carries well in the pocket. The weight doesn't bother me, and I sort enjoy feeling like there's something in my pocket.All in all, I really like the knife and wouldn't hesitate to reccomend it to a friend.
