I have found that as my collection grows so does the cost of each knife I own, in effect I have fewer production style knives lying around. While a lot of this has to do with my selection criteria, there are still a few knives that show up on occasion that I have to have. The most recent was a surprise arrival that showed up just before I had to leave the country (so of course it came along FedEx overnight), in the form of a CRKT GSD. Now to be completely honest CRKT is not one of my favorite companies, nor are their materials at the top of my list, but they do work with some great designers.
This will not be a full review, if people are interested I can try and get one done. But in a nutshell this is a great looking knife ($100msrp, $67 knifecenter). It has very good ergonomics and for what it is you can beat the Mah aesthetics. There are two things I would change though; the flipper tab and the clip. The knife is so appealing to the eye that you cant help but play with it, unfortunately you will have a sore finger by the end of the day. The clip allows the knife to slide around in your pocket, which for me is more an issue of annoyance rather than function.
As I said for a sub $100 dollar flipper I think you would be pretty hard pressed to find a better valued design centered knife. Glad I got mine early and will likely buy another just to have for fun. If you have any questions hit me up, or as a I said if there is a real interest in the knife I will put together a review.
