A new Buck I've never heard about

Just got one of these tonight:

Metal liners and a lock to keep the blade from opening

Looks like cheap plastic but its actually a good solid knife

A couple swipes on my Sharpmaker and hair poppin sharp now.

Flickin it is kinda fun too

PS--it also has a lanyard loop like seen on some of the Bark River products that you can't see well from the pic.

Tip down carry also

I have heard of them, but have not picked one up yet. Pretty affordable?
How about some pics and user comments after you have it awhile? Please?
Might be the next one in line to acquire!
Thanks.

I've seen them in the catalog but never handled one. I too would like to hear your comments after you've used it for a while.

I carried one for a while when they first came out. It takes a little practice to open it. It really is a nifty little knife but eventually I retired it so I could get back to my 172 tnt.

OK----after owning this for about a week or so---I've come up with my little list of changes.

This knife works better in my left hand than my right.

1. The locking lever needs to be on the other side---same placement---just on the other side of the blade.

2. The spring needs to be a hair stiffer---the opening is hit and miss---it needs that extra bit of ooommph for more positive opening.

3.Tip up carry would faster and more convenient---move the clip or make provisions for the customer to move it themselves.

4. The back of the blade/lock screams for jimping or gripping cuts---its too slick as it is now.

Make these little changes and a good knife would be a great knife.
