I got a Urban trapper off the exchange a week ago and so far I love it. I thought it was going to be flimsy and not hold up to anything but not any more. It's light and strong, and locks up with no play. Would highly recommend it.
I have one of these as well, and while I wouldn't say "no" play, the pivot at least isn't an area of weakness. It seems that the entire thing is so thin what you actually get is flex in the frame and blade. Definitely not a hard use knife, but it's nearly as sturdy as a leak, has Ti handle and clip, comes in VG10, and can be made screaming sharp. Did I mention it's so, freaking, LIGHT. It weighs about the same as one of the stainless handle sides in my first auto, the lighter of the two sides at that. If memory serves me correctly it's 1.7oz. Yeah, I that's 49 grams.
It's honestly incredible they made something that is reasonably useful that is so light. I'd bet long distance hikers would love this thing way more than urban commandos would. Or, trappers, whatever an urban trapper is.
