Wow, WHAT A KNIFE!
Anyways...
This is a seriously badass little knife. EVERYTHING is solid! The blade is centered, the handle feels very good in my hand...it is everything. The rolling lock with the indraft is really cool. You can't open the knife via inertia like the axis lock knives, but you can pop it open using the thumbstuds. When using the thumbstuds, it doesnt glide necessarily like an Axis lock, but it POPS open! The indraft mechanism does a REALLY good job of keep the knife closed. This doesn't really change the fact that the knife is still easy to open. When you start to open it, you can definitley feel the resistance, but then after overcoming that, it POPS open, just like when flicking it open with the thumbstuds. the lock up is 100% secure, NO bladeplay AT ALL! The ONLY thing wrong with this knife is that I noticed the grinds are SLIGHTLY off near the front of the blade, but you can't really notice it. It came out of the box extremely sharp, sharper than a shaving razor. This is my first knife in AUS8, so I can't review that yet, but it sure is nice and shiny.
Seriously, this knife would definitley fit into the blue class. It would be no different than any of the griptilian knives.
If you guys have any questions, I will do the best I can to answer them...but I think I covered everything.
