I love this knife. Or wanted to love this knife, but I'm a little over it, and, if course, have several other knives I want to try.
The bad: I purchased this on BF with the blade swap from SW to DLC. There appears to be an issue with the DLC coating as it has developed splotches. I sent back to Tactile who said they would blade swap it, but upon its return, it's the same blade. I didn't bother to follow up with them.
Secondly, it started to develop a small amount of lock rock, which I am unable tolerate. I took it a part and tweaked the lock bar and it is back to being rock solid.
Thirdly, the clip is a bit wiggly, which they have a fix for now, but I have not pursued that either.
The great: a conceptually amazing nice knife. Great ergos, so comfy with the contoured Ti handles. The action is some of the best action I've experienced, nearly drop shut and oh so smooth. And the length of the blade is so nice 3.4" not a small knife but so thin and cozy with enough handle for full finger grip. Great edge, still quite sharp, with box and birthday card.
