I recently purchased a M1-03K a Greg Lightfoot design.
Has anyone else held one of these? What do you think?
The one I recieved is sweet here's a short disciption:

It is an all black knife with a heavy AUS8 "Millennium Tanto"
style blade. It has zytel scales with a mild honeycomb pattern. Normally I don't go much for zytel but it is done nicely here. It is built heavy, similar to the large model M16, but in a small model size(just under 4.5 inches. It has the "LAWKS" system but doen't really need it lock up is rock solid with or without LAWKS engaged.

Saving the best for last, it has a Mako Flipper.

The Mako is used like the Carson Flipper but similar in shape
to the Kershaw Chive's flipper.No spring is needed with this knife though, the force needed to get by the detent is enough to open the knife all the way with ease. The detent made for holding the knife in the closed position works very well, Better than most of CRKT's other models. This was needed to enable this knife to have the great
option of tip up or tip down carry, left or right hand.
All in all it's a great knife.
 
This Greg Lightfoot M1-03k is my first knife purchase that I put any real thought into. I like it very much. Its solid, feels heavier than most knifes that size, the LAWKS feature on it is awesome and the clip on it is very sturdy. The tip up or down, left or right hand feature made this an easy decision for me for my first knife under $50. It came razor sharp with an extra clip. Pulling it out and using the flipper on it with a snap of the wrist easily opens the knife, and Quick!
