Hi Paul,
First of all, welcome to forums! The WH Evolution series is a very nice, well made gent's knife. It is my every-day-carry (office environment) and it has performed very well. It is about as sheeple friendly as I can imagine. For the money it's hard to go wrong. Here are some previous threads on the Evolution series (you can use the Search function to find even more...the info is out there).

I've got Evolution with Wharncliff blade.
To be quite honest, it took a little while before I was familiar with it.
A couple of times I nearly sliced my fingers in it's (razor sharp) blade.
But soon - very soon - I noticed I was keen into it and it's my (office) edc nowdays.
Thin, light, strudy - I think it's more than worth of the money payed for.

I have the G-10 slabbed, plain edged with the Wharnecliffe style blade. I took my jeweler's loupes to that knife and could not find a single flaw worth mentioning.
It was, IMO, worth more than I paid for it and still is.
It's the finest gent's knife for the money I've seen to date.

One of the finest folders I've ever bought. I have the wharncliffe blade with the lacewood handles from AG Russell. Lightweight, razor sharp, good edge retention. The blade is a little thin, but the choice of steel, hardness and bladeshape (wharncliffe) has made this a dedicated slicer, for which all the elements combine to perform flawlessly.
Some gripes that I had were that the handle was a little too slim for my hands (which are large for an Asian), the lacewood slabs were unsealed and the corner of the handles nearest the pivot and spine was a little too sharp. These were all easily fixed. Superglue finish (which is still holding up well) sealed the wood and thickened the slabs sufficiently for the knife to feel good in the hand. Quick work with the Dremel and sandpaper got rid of the sharp corner.
IMHO, WH knives, especially the Evolution series, are worth the price.
