Found a thread on this knife in the Reviews section, but have't found a lot more information concerning this one. I'm ordering one of these because it seems to be a very stoutly built folder. As much as I like larger folders, I also can appreciate shorter, but stoutly built folders. The article in Tactical Knives along with the pics seem to show a well built knife, but there wasn't a lot of technical info. Does anyone have one and if so what is the opinion. How thick is the blade stock and what is the thickness of the liner material? How much do these weigh out at? Any help is most appreciated!:D
 
Looks like I'll have to do a report. Just got it in this afternoon so I've only had a chance for a first impression. What I see I like. The lockup is exceptionally tight and applying pressure to the blade spine does not move the lock bar any. Blade lockup is oh so very tight! Centered blade upon closing, another good mark. Fit and finish appear to be top notch. I did notice that it has teflon bushings, so I'll probably try and change those out this evening and put some phospher-bronze washers in place. Blade grind is nice and even and the edge will pop hair as it comes out of the box. After I take it down tonight I'll get some measurements and some more thoughts after I carry it and play with it a bit and report back. But so far, so good!:thumbup: :D :thumbup:
 
I like large folders also. I carry a Strider GB. What does you folder look like? what steel?
 
Had my eye on one of those. Looks like it has a good grip and a low riding pocket clip. I know the lock is flush with the handles on both sides which is a good point. -Perhaps slightly harder to close though?
