Bought this on Tues and rec. it today off the 5.11 site. I read some reviews about QC issues etc. So was wondering what it would be like when I rec. it. Well it's PERFECT and it is BIG with absolutely excellent ergo's for me. Butter smooth opening, super thick liner(s), nice thick spine with decent jimping for your thumb that actually works for me and nicely beveled g10 and the liners are all ti. S30v pse which ain't bad. All for 70 bucks shipped. Oh yea nice and thick PB washers. I am very very pleased. keepem sharp:D
 
I loved the FR the first time I handled it. The serrations killed it for me. The ergos, the beefy liners, blade shape.... very sweet. You got it for $70?! Nice catch! :thumbup: Good luck with it.
 
Yep serrations kind of suck on any folder I think but the price is so good and the build quality is beyond reproach. Just a damn fine folder and happy I have it. Won't take the place of my Shinarra ARS folder but will carry it some. keepem sharp
