Just took delivery of this little knife yesterday after that little blurb on a CRKT IKE. This isn't really a review per say but more of a question. Does anyone own one of these and what are there impressions.
My initial impression is for 40 bucks you could do a helluva lot worse than this knife. Blade centers fine, opens easily, the knife is small and lite weight and again is razor sharp o.t.b. Fit and finish is superb. No over runs and everything lines up as it should. Even the top of the blade has a radius to it. The thumb studs are small and very rounded. The pocket clip really clips tight too and low in the pocket. Has really nice knurling on the alum. scales. My biggest bitch is with the liner lock. The thing fails the spine whack test. Sometimes easily and sometimes not so easily.
But then again I am not planning on hitting with the back of the blade so it is not a real concern for me. Anyways would like to hear from other owners especially concerns with the liner lock mechanism. Keep'em sharp
