When I got mine in the head was loose on the handle and flopping around and the end of the handle had a small split so I sent it back for a refund. Knowing CRKT mine was likely a fluke. In any case it still seemed better than the CS hawks. I didn't like the weight though, too heavy for my taste. I would also like to see a longer handle. I would like to see one without a hammer poll, that would probably get the weight down where I would like.
