Seriously, I keep coming back to look at it again. I can't explain why I like it, but it would appear that I do indeed.

CRKT, my favorite guilty pleasure. Well.... yeah, best stop there.
The Batum, a big, chunky piece of goodness
With some friends for size comparison
('Scuse the Izula: pencil sharpening job)
What's that? Those knives don't help me. Can't you just show it with a ruler so we can all understand?
Here ya go!
I've seen the blade spec'ced at 3 1/8", but it's so close to 3" as makes no difference. Perfect.
OAL with the blade open comes very close to 8". Like I said, big.
The money shot:
"Blade Thickness: 0.187". What?! 3/16" by 3" on a production knife?! Add to cart. Pay for Order.

I really like this but have no idea what it is. Like most of the pictures here a simple description would be helpful.

Sorry...the knife is a custom Persian by Sam Johnston (@johnstonknives on Instagram). Knuck is an Andy Frankart copper low pro. The spinner is a Steel Flame Copper Ring Spin.

This thing continues to grow on me. Stubby flipper tab or not, this knife makes me so happy I just did something I never thought I would, I sprung for a blinged-out Stas Bondarenko modded version. For now I'm loving this black one, though:
I have one too and I have to agree, it does grow on you! I knew I would like it but I did not expect it to be such a fantastic knife. Please post your modded version when you get it!

Will do, I'm sure it will be a while making it's way from Russia to my door. In the interim I may post a few more pictures of this one, as it's in my pocket again today:
