How are you liking the Hogue?

I grabbed 2. The 3.5" in blue and this 4" black.
Great flipping action with an internal detent. (I watched a video and the reviewer stated there was no detent but that's untrue. The smaller X5 was a little gritty new so I disassembled and there's a small detent spring bar mounted in the handle. A little lube and the grittiness is gone).
Fit and finish is top notch for a production piece and has a few unexpected features that I wouldn't expect. Filler tab and 2 pocket clips for example.
These have no washers by design as usual with Hogue and honestly they don't need them. The blade handle interface is huge and with no washers makes for solid, no blade-play design by nature.
After carrying them around for a while I think I'll hang on to the large and contemplate listing the smaller blue on my next trip to the exchange. The large seems to fit my xxl hand just a little better.

Oh man! I use Tapatalk so I don't see sigs. Don't tell me you have the green handle in 4". I got the black w gmascus in its absence. Still pretty pumped tho. Don't have any knives like it yet. Was a pretty big purchase for me.
