Here is my short review.....

Opening the box you get a mini catalog - instruction card to work the lock- and a certificate of authenticity (for being a licensed Willumsen design)
Removing the knife from the plastic you notice the edges of the G10- they are pretty sharp and "grippy". All the edges of the knife are beveled which is a nice touch.
The pivot is nice and smooth. I have NO blade play. I can NOT complain about the solid lock up. Mine is about 60% and I doubt it will ever move from there.
The blade is kind of interesting. The belly is shaves easily, but the "nose" is laughable. It will need some work if I keep it!

Overall- This thing is a brute! It is well built and solid. For the (under $20) I paid it is one of the best buys I have made. I would have been happy if I paid full price. With a few minutes of work it will be a great knife. Maybe some bronze pivot washers and a trip to the Edge Pro and it will be a rock solid user.

It does need a flipper though.

Plain edge non-coated version inbound to my location as we speak. Thanks a lot, fletch. Like I really needed one of these...:grumpy:

Whaaaat?

True story- first thing I thought when I saw it... Those scales remind me of the ones on my Willum... Then I saw what you wrote. Kinda slummin it, but hey whatever, sounds like they mostly got it right which is the most important thing.

The price is super light and I like 440C just fine... I'd be all over it if they did it in ti instead of steel, even If it added a few bucks.

Edit- the $575 knife it reminded me of.

No thanks.

Glad I could help. I played with my PE- satin finish all day today. It opens like a rocket ship now! The lock up is awesome on these. They are HUGE!

Weird looking

Weird looking

So am I. I guess that's why it appeals to me.

Got it today. I can only reiterate what others have said. It's huge, it locks up tight, blade is perfectly centered, and there's no play whatsoever. I like it. The edge wasn't uber sharp (hair scraping), but some time on the KME this evening should fix that. :thumbup:

 

[Monofletch]

Nice knife for the price.

 

[G. Scott H.]

Build quality wise, this knife reminds me very much of the Boker+ CLB line(which is a good thing). Definitely a good buy. :thumbup:

 

[Monofletch]

I haven't sharpened mine yet. The front edge needed it bad. The belly was good and sharp though.

Sounds like a great buy and a cheap way to try out new and interesting designs. I like it.
