Just got my 25 today, here are my 10 points observations:
1- it's a tank! For some reason it feels stronger, beefier than the 21 or the umnumzaan.
2- super comfortable, probably my most comfortable knife yet ( I have medium size hands).
3- detent is incredible, very strong yet deployement is pretty easy and very smooth!
4- lock bar tension feels stronger than any previous knives I've owned.
5- blade shape is incredible, it feels bigger than the 21. The high hollow ground is in my opinion a winner.
6- jimping is not more functional than any previous model...in my opinion.
7- much prefer how the lanyard attaches, further away from the blade, no fraying.
8-screws, fit and finish is superb. It was always good in the past but now it looks even better and high quality.
9- the stonewash on the blade is a little too light...in my opinion. Not sure how much it will hide scratches...time will tell.
10- lockup as expected is ABSOLUTELY ROCK SOLID, but that was to be expected. Like I said earlier this knife just feels sturdier more solid than previous versions.
Hope this helps anybody that is on the fence about this knife
I am extremely impressed with the general quality, in my opinion it's a winner.
Thank you CRK for another great knife! You continue to make some of the best knives in the world...BRAVO.
