I got the full-sized one yesterday, plain edge.
First off, the liners on this one are nice and thick. The thickness of the locking liner, plus a good-sized ball dedent, ensure strong lockup and a solit closure.
The LAWKS setup on this model seems IMO to be more comfortable than the one on my small 3" CRKT KFF. In saber grip, keeping the thumb on the serrated portion of handle will ensure the LAWKS lever is out of the way.
This knife has a high hollow grind, yet doesn't feel flimsy. That means it is an efficient slicer. The handle is a bit skeletonized, yet no decrease in strength. The handle just feels right in the hand.
The pocket clip is a bit long, covering the length of over 2/3 of the handle. I would have preferred it a bit shorter, yet it isn't really any problem at all. Also, the thumb ramp leading to the opening disk might have been more easy had it been more pronounced...again, no biggie.
Looks like another winner. This is a real solid value for the $$.
