I saw this in the catalog and thought it was pretty neat design-wise and materials wise (titanium + CPM-M4.) Link here. Anyone own this knife or at least play with it? Thoughts, feelings?
 
I owned one for a little while. The lockup on mine was very good and it came very sharp. The detent wasn't too good but decent and the blade is very thick. Not a good slicer. Overall I liked it but it wasn't anything too special. A lot of the first production ones had problems with offcenter blades and what not but mine was fine.
 
It has a few features that I believe should be on every framelock. 1) stop pin that can be rotated to provide more secure lockup; 2) framelock over-travel stop under clip; 3) divot cut out of handle for easier access to thumb stud.
 
the one ive handled, i hated...it was not cool at all...the one thing that really made me mad about it was the clip...it was way too small, not good at all, and with it being tip down only, the side of your hand comes into contact with the very sharp jimping on the thumb-ramp when going in and out of the pocket...not fun to carry at all
