I got one in trade at the local gun store yesterday.:thumbup:
AWESOME build quality. Perfectly centered blade, all components fit together nice and flush; no complaints there.:)
The clip could be better, but it does work. This knife WILL eat your pockets eventually though.
My only beef is that I'd prefer a thicker lock-bar cut-out, but it does lock up nice and solidly.
To those who think it's too thick to cut properly, I don't know what the hell they're talking about. It came nice and sharp out of the box; will shave slightly, and with a bit of Sharpmaker love it's going to do just fine.
If you want a tiny knife which you don't know is there, don't get it; it will make a bulge in your spandex boy-shorts.:rolleyes:
If, on the other hand, you wear clothes befitting a man, go for it!
It's a great knife at a great price.:cool:
 
Nah... not just for me. To small and bulky (fat) for my taste. I like my knives more slim and pocketable. I liked it when I saw the first pictures of it, but the more I read about it it turns me off. I´ll pass on this one.
 
Tap on the back of the spine with the palm of your weak hand when locked open.

It has been done, and it be just fine.
Not my first frame-lock.;)
Some people may have received lemons; I could believe that. I myself decided that I had to see one in person rather than ordering sight unseen, given the reports of issues people had.
I actually went to the gun store for something else, but when I saw this little beasty and it met my quality requirements, I needed it!
 
Love mine! My 755 is a knife that legends will be made about. Properly executed, framelocks are fine - witness the 755 MPR... 630 Skirmish... Buck 172... and, about that CRK Sebenza...

I once lived by lockback-only. I have matured... or regressed! After all, I started with slippies!!

I still have to give lock-backs their props for straight-up reliability (as long as the lock well is kept lint free) and longevity, but somehow titanium frame-locks are just so much..."sexier", for lack of a better term.:)
