Don't hear much negative things about this knife besides it is a little unbalance blade to handle, but from all the positives I hear about this knife, gmascus or aluminum handle, one of the best lockups for a folder(button lock), hard use rated, 154cm blade. I am wondering why it is not more popular, it seems like your getting a lot more for your money compared to a lot of benchmades with there comparable axis lock. Is it because this is hogue's first knife and there hasn't been enough time to prove itself.
