Received this knife yesterday and it came sharp out of the box, much like the Moki I once had, this has the wharncliff blade shape, plain edge and VG-10 for the steel.
The liners are 420J Stainless and the scale materials are G10, though they are screwed on to the liners and thoughts of changing them later are swimming through my wittle head right now, they are nicely shaped though.
The blade is 3" long, handle is at 4"
It has dual thumbstuds that are grippy and work easily, the blade opens very smoothly, the detent holds the blade securely as well.
The lock, it's a liner lock, though really an integral lock similar to the Sebenza style since the side really makes the lock bar, if you gripped it really tight you shouldn't be able to defeat the lock. The blade locks up very secure.
Pocket clip pouch, the clip was left off the knife, nice touch! But the knife does arrive with a leather sheath that has a well made and strong clip that clips to the inside of your pocket, works well also.
This as most of you that know me, is my favourite blade shape, right next to the chiseledge blades, very useful point and straight edge. So far I have just cut some boxes, string, envelopes and the shaved some hair off my arm, standing hair, meaning that the edge is SO sharp it cuts off the hair without bringing the knife next to the skin, try that with your knife, usually the hair moves out of the way, but this knife and a chiseledge one I have, the hair doesn't have a chance! It catches and pops the hair right off, very sharp knife, and I didn't even have to sharpen it yet! impressive.
