I just got this today. This is my first non-POS bali. In other words I have no real frame of reference, so I'll stick to the facts and leave the subjective stuff to the experts. So far I have seen one really good and one really bad review on these forums..
Size: This is a decent sized knife, but is extremely light. There is no awkwardness or lag when flipping this knife that you'd expect when you look at it.
Fit/Finish: This knife locks up tight. The description on knifezilla said that it would, "hum like a tuning fork when droped into your hand." It does. I don't know if that proves anything though, cause I have a cheap POS bali that was this tight when I got it and developed play after a little use. The handles are very smoothe, obviously machined, and coated with a grippy black coating. This coating seems pretty resiliant since the latch hasn't scratched it.
Blade: The blade is beautiful. A slender bowie shape. It didn't come very sharp, but then some of my best knives came dull.
Feel: This knife feels realy fluid when I flip it. The rotation is smooth and the handles are light.
That's my first impresions, I'll post more later.
