I've gotten a few CRKT knives, and the Kasper is a great buy! Yes, it's not a light weight knife, but the handle is practically molded to my hand! AUS6 steel, so you'll do some extra sharpening if you use it as utility and daily carry. Mine hasn't failed a spine whack test even with out the LAWKS engaged. The LAWKS is cool, but it takes an extra move to engage it, so first move on deployment should probably be a slash, giving you time to engage the lock. Handles are Zytel, and while there isn't any "cross hatch" pattern to make it more "tactile" when holding it, the smooth Zytel is not slippery. I've since bought Rekat's Carnivore and Carnivore Cub, similar knives, and have to give the "ergonomics to CRKT for their handle. The Rolling Lock, ATS-34 steel and G10 scales are better items, but will cost 2-3 times as much. But, what the hell, buy 'em all!
