I was driving through Ohio and bought one at the Fin Fur and Feather off of I-71 between columbus and cleaveland. I got it on sale for $30.
The tip was slightly sharp, but I got a useful edge on it with using a spyderco white stone as a file. Later, I got a better edge with sandpapeer on a 1" block. The tip grind looks like an appleseed grind similar to the Lum spyderco tanto. This is one knife where you'd have to try hard to break the tip. I just sharpened the original grind, I did not reprofile. The sharpened portion of the blade had a good symetrical grind. The grind was perfect and shaving sharp. It was nice and coarse, so it would rip through anything. The edge held well and came back with some quick work on a sharpmaker. I picked the best out of two knives. The second was the display knive and was a little bit duller on the re-enforced tip but had less travel on the liner lock.
I was highly impressed by the fit and finish. The lock-up was about 1/3 and after a week it settled in at 1/2 and hasn't moved in a month. There is no blade play. I threw it into tree stumps more than a few times and it still has no blade play.
The flipper was a little difficult at first, but two drops of mineral oil and it was flipping real easy. Later a drop of miltec improved the performance even more. I was a little suprised it needed oil since it's got teflon bearings. But upon examination, I believe it needed oil due to the ball used to hold the knive closed, not due to pivot assembly. The spring on the liner lock makes the ball and blade contact tight, the blade swings freely when the liner is moved over.
The blade design is great for stabbing and slashing. Due to the tip, it's not the best for some types of utility work, such as apple coring. However it will do everything you need and take a beating. With the tip sharpended more than factory, it will rip open boxes and letters. The snake-like shape of the clip is interesting and functional. The top of the clip is recessed which is a nice touch.
It's a fun knive and an unique design. Execution was well above par. Plus, unlike a sebenza you can flick it and flip it open, and not void the warranty

and all for $30.
