If you found it laying on the side of the road and it's functional......clean it up and keep it.

If you're asking for a review......buy one, send it to me, I'll take it through the normal abuse stages, and after I'm done with it I'll send you you're knife back with a review attached!

Hi Matt,

I'm not quite sure what you mean by just found this knife (Did you find it on the street, find it on sale, or discover it on the internet?)

Regarless... owning one myself, I can give you my impressions of it. I think you would be pleased with this knife, it has an interesting blade shape, strong and comfortable handle, and excellent build quality and materials. The blade is ATS-34, a good quality steel, and the edge is quite sharp from factory (though not as sharp as some other knives I own). When I first got the knife the action was a little stiff, but after working it for a while it loosened up, and now opens smoothly and quickly. I like the oval thumb hole in the blade, but it took a little getting used to. The things I don't like about the knife: the blade pivot requires a special tool to tighten or loosen the blade tension. I also don't like the pocket clip, it rides a little too high in the pocket (personal taste), is a little too long, and is an attention grabbing brightly polished steel. This is minor though, and all around, I think it is a pretty good knife for the money.
