The other day I purchased a Buck Nobleman, in my opinion it is awesome. There are a few down falls that I don't like but are minor.

Specifications:
6.5" open
3.75" closed
2.5" cutting edge
Dual thumb studs
Framelock
Pocket clip
Modified drop point blade

The lock-up is very secure, which is a must on all pocket knives. It comes shaving sharp right out of the box. The blade is well balanced between the scales. The reason I wanted the knife was because; it was esthetically pleasing to the eye, the blade was one of my favorite profiles, I wanted a small functional knife, and it had a cool carbon fiber pattern.

The down falls are few. First the thumb stud is very close to the scales, which makes it hard for my sausage fingers to open sometimes. Lastly the thumb stud gets thicker the farther away from the blade, like a square pyramid.
 
Nice review, short and sweet. I have this same knife, and I agree with a lot of what you said, but what I didn't like on mine was:

China made
Play
Thats it.

Pros:
Nice and razor sharp
Ease of opening (I can flick it open effortlessly)
Aesthetics, I find it very easy on the eyes
 
I agree, when I saw made in China I was worried about the quality. I am a firm believer in American made products, but I'll try Chinese mad products if they have a decent review.
 
I almost bought this knife before, but I can never tell: Is it solid CF, a thin layer of CF on top, or just a printed on pattern?
