Bigger than it looks.
Thick VG-10 (if it's the newest iteration) blade.
Nylon pivot washers.
Some may have a lanyard tube rattle and a rather ugly little unground section on the ricasso. (I repaired the tube by swedging it and took a carbide grinder to the ricasso. All better)
Nice knife and underrated IMO, probably due to the cost, but if you can get one for a decent price....

Thanks for the link. Tapatalk sucks for searching so I usually don't even try. Have to admit I agree with a lot of peoples opinions on it being Vg-10. It being made in Seki doesn't bother me one bit, but would rather see this in Zdp-189. I would've probably already pulled the trigger if so.
