Rec. my Cyclone in the mail today and have to say I don't know why I waited so long to pick one up. Like it alot. Flipper on the a/o is fine but the blade doesn't sit between the scales straight, it is similar in position within the scales as my Lahar. I'll try and post pics later of the Lahar, Cyclone and the Shallot. Shallot is going to go down the road but the Cyclone and Lahar are staying.
The one big thing I didn't realize though about the Cyclone is the alum scales. I thought it was g10 over the steel liners. That and it is a big folder with good weight. My only concern is how cold the scales will get in the cold when using it. Some nice g10 scales may be in order for this bad boy now that I think about it. Knife is reasonably sharp but could be sharper but again not really concerned about it as it is still functionally sharp out of the box. Lock up is tight with no movement in any direction, appears to have alot of room for wearing in on the lock and the handle is pretty ergonomically shaped. All in all in a very very nice folder especially at the price point of less than 40 bucks nib. That's it, keepem sharp
