I know this model has been out for quite some time but I thought I might pick one up before they are not available anymore. Any owners out there that could give me some insight about this model? eg. lockup, blade steel, handle ergonomics, fit/finish?
I am patial to micarta linerless knives.
Thanks :-) ! Dave
 
I picked up one of these folders a month or two ago, and I really like the knife. Blade is super sharp, and lock up is very good with no blade play whatsoever. My only complaint would be that the action is a little tight and not as easy opening as some other folders. That really doesnt bother me, as I would rather have the rock solid lockup.
 
I love the size and blade to handle ratio so much, that I am thinking about tracing around the knife and making myself a fixed blade version of this knife. If only I could find some VG10! I guess I will have to settle for S30V. :)
 
It looked to be pretty nice. I have an old original Rigid knife that looks very similar to it. I have carried it for many years. It is a shame they are discontinuing this model. I'll try to find one now for a reasonable price. Thanks for your time!
