Recently picked one up… luckily only spent $75 on it after a little dickering on the Bay. Exceptional knife, even if I had paid a hundo. I love the feel of the contoured grip. I love that the clip is darn near normal, a departure for CS as we all know. The blade is practical, sane, and came very sharp. My only gripes, and it’s really just nitpicking, is the Wave-style thumb plate thingy. It is perfectly functional, I personally would just prefer thumb studs in this format… and the cartoonish billboarding. Neither are enough to make this a no-go for me, I think it’s a winner.

Definitely a good knife!!!!! A beast too!!!! Should handle just about anything a normal day would toss at you!!!
 
I know many CS models have PB and teflon washers, but upon disassembly and inspection, my example only came with teflon washers. I replaced the teflon washers with new phosphor bronze and have been working them in. It’s very smooth now.

My only negative observation so far is juuuuust a little bit of blade rap about midway on the straight portion of the edge, looks like the blade contacts the lock spring when closing. Nothing major, should be a non-issue after a light sharpening. Still a fantastic knife, especially for the money.
