I received mine on Saturday and am geeking out on it big-time. I've had many knives, from junk to high end, over at least a 30 year period. I think this might be my favorite folder of them all. I live in northern Minnesota and have been an outdoors-man (bush-craft/fishing) all of my life.
The blade profile is perfect. I like knives with a good belly (Sebenza, Ritter Grip) That's where the majority of the cutting is done.
The deep carry pocket clip = Win.
I like the scales and the color. It's very grippy. For someone like myself, that is frequently in a wet/cold environment, it's perfect.
As far as the weight.. I don't notice it while it's in my pocket. It's built like a tank, and yet, not cumbersome in the pocket. There is enough room left to easily get my hand in there, without my hand getting scraped up. I think the size is perfect. I have large hands and it fits nicely, for a knife it's size. If I ever want a larger knife, I go with a fixed blade. This is the perfect pocket-folder size.
I've heard some gripe about the flipper action. When doing so, they always compare it to dedicated flippers, some with assist tech.
I don't think that's a fair comparison. The 300sn may not function like a top-of-the-line flipper, but imo, it's better, because it has several options when it comes to deployment. Options are always good, especially in situations where you really need a tool to perform.
Great knife!
