Love the knife.
Mine is orange and there's no way I'll lose it in the grass.
Tight spring, locks up like a vault, closes perfectly centered.
It's pre-owned so it has the usual handle scrapes and starting patina.
But I used it to make dinner tonight and the patina is growing nicely.
Fit and finish are very good.
No gaps anywhere, with even grinds.
I don't know if it's supposed to be this way, but there's space between the pivot
pin and the "Red Neck" shield on both sides.
Opening and closing are very smooth, but tight.
It also has a well appreciated half stop.
Gotta have it with a spring this strong.
The handle is a perfect length to get all 4 of my fingers on.
And I love the blade shape.
Awesome belly with a nice long straight portion.
The only thing that would make the knife better would be a slightly pointer point (can I say that?)
The thing is very confidence inspiring and feels solid during use.
I'm sure it could handle pretty much everything my Paramilitary 2 can.
I'm gonna use the daylights out of it.
You should all have one in your pockets.

Come on, you all know how it looks and I feel lazy tonight.
