This knife, along with the REKAT Pioneer, has become one of my favorite "user" knives.
The Walker design is way cool, and the Swiss craftsmanship compares to MT in all respects.
It feels good and opens smooth as glass.
The liner lock is very positive and engages right in the middle of the lock.
Mine has the blue anodized aluminum finish on the scales as well as a polished blade with sufficient belly for most chores.
These knives are really classy. The BEST thing about them (IMO) is the 440C stainless blade and fasteners. You can use it all day without the worry of continiously wiping down the blade. Clean fish, garden work, moisture.....normal things that we all worry about so we are continiously tendeng the blade. These are use-all-day/wipe-down before putting away knives. I love the freedom of not having to be anal about stains. The heat treatment provides one of the best edges I've seen for 440C.
Another neat feature is the blade can be opened by the stud or the traction grooves at the base of the blade. This is great for gloves and/or lefties.
These knives are going for less than $80 right now at Discount Knives.
Check them out. I think you will be impressed.
