North Arms Skaha II

I have wanted one for awhile. I am not tech savvy and have signed up a dozen times,(maybe 3 or 4)...
I did finally get a purple Keen, it is quite a knife for the money. Are these really that amazing? It seems like a reasonable price for this cult status...
 
I recently received mine. G10 handles with clip drilled for a lefty.

What I like about this knife: it cuts beautifully, the rounded handles are very comfortable, no issues with too sharp of a flipper tab, the blade flips open so smoothly and the clip is fantastic- no problems on any of my pockets so far.

As a lefty, I don't care for frame locks that are made for righties, this knocks out a lot of knives that I am interested in. Liner locks are fine for me.

My EDC knives are ZT 0566 (replaced by the Skaha 2) and a Victorinox Pioneer X. The weight reduction from the ZT was instantly noticeable and appreciated. When I need a heavier use knife, I use a fixed blade (Survive GSO 4.1). For my extremely tactical uses like cutting open packages and snacks, cables ties and unnecessarily cutting boxes, the Skaha 2 is now my go to knife.

To knit-pick, some of the screws could be more flush but thats only noticed when playing with the knife, not when using it to cut.
