I bought one because of my inherent despise for the trendy and it's actually been a pretty impressive knife (rather than just a novelty).
The handle is extremely comfortable and great for white knuckle grips. The opening/closing action is buttery smooth (way smoother than my Chinese folder). The blade is just impressive from all angles.
It's definitely the wrong knife to cut zip-ties with so packing a Dragonfly, Subclaw, etc is always a smart idea. The belly of the knife cuts well and it actually has something of a tip when you get it in hand. The recurve portion cuts like a demon and where the convex/concave sections meet it has a nice tip.
Once you think of the knife as a heavy duty hawkbill and less like a delica the more you will like it. It sacrifices a sharp traditional hawkbill tip for a bullnose tip which makes opening certain things more difficult but gives quite a bit of strength. You can also essentially push-whittle like a wood chisel or drag the belly across things for traditional cutting or use it's tip. I have not found many things that a quick wrist-flick won't open up.
It's horrible for opening mail, destroys cardboard boxes like a Mongolian warlord, and leaves 1.5" holes like a huge paper punch. It's also a great knife to show to people who are used to traditional blades for the reaction alone.
It's been called a convex folding razor and that's pretty explanatory.
PS: On the "build like a tank" comment, it's a yes. Steel lined, screwed construction, serious frame reinforcement, military-style frame lock.
I would say my Manix2 is a "tougher" knife but it's the only one I know of and either would survive anything short of a nuclear bomb.
