It's very nice - I like the blade shape and can reverse flick open with the fuller or use the flipper as intended. The thumb ramp on the spine in front of the jimping looks like a mini harpoon and adds to the attraction. It arrived extremely sharp!

The action is very good, smooth, and drops shut with no double clutch. Access to the lock bar is good, and I like that it's a liner lock; so I don't have it freeze shut or refuse to open if I accidentally put pressure on the lockbar, like with a frame lock (eg F95).

The handle is nice and thin (not too thin) with very good texture for maintaining a grip with no sharp edges. Being a full size knife is a plus for me. The pocket clip does look a little small when compared to the rest of the knife, but I usually put it down into my right front pocket anyway and don't use the clip. The clip works fine though, with a fairly deep carry.

I like the back spacer with jimping, but I miss having a lanyard hole as a lanyard would make it easier to grasp it and pull it out of that front pocket.

With your experience, you should put together a "best of" list and compile your top 5 in a few different cost categories.

You've got to be in one of the more unique positions out there in terms of having your hands on such a wide variety of folders.

I've done a ranking in the past of my top 11-12 or so before. It's too much work to do again 😅
 
Qsp hedgehog and blasted hill "rain" in the rain.

I wanted to try out the hedgehog. Sort of a modern traditional. It's way nicer than expected. The hollow grind is super thin. It's a fine edged, slicey bugger. The micarta is awesome. Fit, finish and action is perfect all around. Sandvik stainless is cool with me. I like it!



The Blasted Hill is the perfect utility knife. Ive been using it non stop since it arrived. One little ding in the edge from slamming it off of a front loader bucket on accident. It took the hit like a champ. Great blade.
 
Yesterdays incoming. I might have 1 more today or this weekend.
