Just got in the large CRKT Ikoma Fossil plain edge and have to say I'm very impressed for a knife costing just under $55 shipped. Fit and finish is nearly impeccable (the blade is a hair off center closed) and the blade grinds are perfect except for a little variance at the very edge - but it's very sharp. The pocket clip is little tight but nothing to worry about. The most impressive thing is the IKBS bearing system. It's just super smooth and effortless to open. You want to make sure your fingers are out of the way, though, when closing. The blade caught the edge of my pinky the first time I closed it - the blade is relatively heavy and the IKBS lets it fall fast. The lock up is rock solid even though the lockbar looks thin and it unlocks easily. Though the blade steel is not remotely top tier it did come nice and sharp and if properly heat treated will hopefully retain the edge a reasonable time. Overall, a very nice knife for the money and not a bad deal if you want to try big folder with IKBS, as I did.
Just look at his review of the small fossil and imagine bigger.
