Just wanted to get this topic back to page one. This knife is really amazing for the cost... I had two gripes about it. One: it's not a fast opener, at least not for me. Two: the edge of the locking bar is really sharp and can become uncomfortable. Just took the knife apart and rounded the edges of the locking bar (80-100-360-600 grit) and I gave the blade a good oiling. Gripe 2: solved. Gripe 1: improved but not perfect (I might want to add washers, maybe that helps). Still, I'm a happy camper. Not a lot of blades out there that give you similar materials for this price. Another thing: the simplicity of the knife itself is just beautiful. Just like an Opinel it consists of only a few pieces. Two screws, that's it. Not a lot of modern folders out there that present you that kind of simplicity to work with. The simplicity is just AWESOME when tweaking it like I just did. Thanks KA-BAR!
