Okay, I'm still pretty new to this discussion group, and I did a search for this knife, so if I missed a thread somewhere, sorry!
Anyway, I really like the knife, but I HAD TO REMOVE THE CLIP!!
If you haven't bought this knife yet, and you are going to, I recommend this is the first thing you do, for several reasons.
1) because it is so thin (skeletonized clip?) it rubs against the side and scratches it. That is why recommend you do this first, before you notice scratches
2) because the clip so thin, it is damn uncomfortable, it scrapes against your skin.
3) AND WHAT I FIND MOST ANNOYING; Because it's so thin, it acts like a spring. When you open the knife with your thumb (if you're a rightie), you will probably apply a counterforce against the clip with the rest of your fingers (at least the last 3). Now the clip absorbs some of this, making quick opening difficult.
To prove this point, I, personally, am able to open it much quicker and more easily with out the clip.
What could be changed? A non skeletonized clip. A damn simple solution.
I really like the knife, Although I think it could use either an extra finger grove (it wouldn't have to be very big) for your third finger or ridges along the front for gripability without compromising this knife's good looks.
Also, I love the blade. The false edge along the back looks like it could give the knife unparralled tip stregnth and piercing ability. But I don't really want to find out.
Thanks for reading.
