It's on my list of knives I'll probably buy in the future. I don't care where it's made, it's a beautiful knife and has gotten positive reviews.

I recall reading some discussion of minor lock-up issues, i.e. a bit of up and down wobble, like most lockbacks have.
Never bought one of these knives, but the one I held looked good to me as far as fit and finish, lock-up, etc. goes.

It's basically a liner lock with a button to press on the scale so you don't have to push the liner with your finger.

It does look good, saw a couple reviews on u tube they were quite positive.
I am tempted to purchase one myself. On the by and by, I just received a Benchmade Monochrome, and I'll tell you what, for the $$ this is one sharp solid knife. Frame lock, is solid, as a rock and the blade is sharp as any of my high end knives.

Like was mentioned it is basically a compression lock but with a button to move the lock bar. It should be much stronger than a liner lock just like the compression lock has been tested by Spyderco to be one of their strongest locks.
Mine doesn't have any play at least not enough for me to notice. I do wish that when you pressed the button you could then wrist flick the blade open or closed but it doesn't work. Would be curious to know why the lock was not liked. For the money it's pretty darn nice with ti handle slabs and nice fit and finish.
