Big and solid
First of all. I didn't know how to answer the question above "Is it of good value". My finances always kept my pocket knife purchases to a $35-$40 range, so this purchase was a hard buy. But I have come to the conclusion this was a good purchase. The knife is big and substantial. What struck me first was the width of the blade at 1 1/4" (which was bigger than I had visualized) and the overall large size. I thought I don't want to carry this big thing around, but it has grown on me. It is not steel lined and if it were, it would be too heavy at this size. It is thin and that helps. The clip is strong and stiff, so I had to pry it open a hair to enable clipping to all types of pant materials. I wish the clip was a little deeper, so it would carry a little lower. The handle is nicely textured and I believe it will allow good grip in all conditions. With the finger grooves, it fits really nice in the hand in either direction with a very comfortable, solid grip. To open with the thumb screw one handed, I have to adjust the grip once, during the opening process due to the overall size; but it worked well. The blade was sharp. I just needed to hone it a little to smooth out the edge. When opened and locked, the blade is solid in both directions. The lock was stiff and solid. I expect it to work a little easier over time, I hope. Although this is my biggest pocket knife and I was skeptical of carrying comfortably, I quickly got used to it because it is light and thin (for it's size) and I can clip it. I have the old Buck 110s and this about that overall size without the weight and bulk. The Buck 110 is too heavy and big for my EDC. So, overall I am pleased I broke down and spent the bucks for this nice knife. I better not freaking loose it.
