I got mine yesterday. My first impressions are very good. It's a very solid, stout, well made knife. More so then I expected having only seen pictures before I received it. The assist fires hard with solid lock up. Love the push button lock feature.
You can close the blade pushing either button but I've found depressing both simultaneously works best for me.
The 154 CM blade has a nice thickness 0.124" and 3.6" long. I like the Drop Point blade design as it lends itself to a wide range of utility. I'm also a fan of BM's 154CM
I've only had the knife a day but first impressions are a big thumbs up!:thumbup:

Thanks for the info,looks real cool, and being a lefty this is right up my alley. I was real disappointed with the 761; for me it had many shortcomings, this one seems much more what I like. Do you feel you got your moneys worth considering the price ?

For the price I paid yes, it is worth the money.
Like I said I was a bit surprised (pleasantly) once I got it in hand. It's a heavier, use wise knife then I expected. It's very close to the 581 Barrage. The blade is slightly thicker and so is the handle thickness overall. Would have to look it up but I think it's slightly heavier too but not much.
It's a solid knife for sure.
I should add, the push button lock takes a bit more effort to actuate then other push buttons I have like the Hogue EX-01 & EX-O4 and the BM AFO II. It's not at all difficult to actuate, but I find myself squeezing both buttons simultaneously using my thumb and forefinger. Can do it with just one finger but find using two easier and more natural with this model if that makes sense.
