Hurry up and bring on the 25!!!!!

I like the new pivot system, lanyard standoff and stock, but from some reason I really can't get over the additional cutout. It is not aesthetically appealing to me, and looks rather uncomfortable. I much prefer the clean lines of the 21.
Just MHO
 
They brung it.

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.

I share the same thoughts. I forgot to mention how sturdy this knife feels. I agree with you that it feels MUCH more of a stronger knife Han the previous models. It's a little heavier too but this thing is stupid strong.

It really is a tank! When you open it its a crazy feeling that you better hold it tight or it'll pop right out of your hand.
Thanks for all your pictures BBQBOY, you largely responsible for this purchase...:)
Ps: my wife hates you..:D
