Would you recommend the 830 Marksmen?

This is a good looking blade to me and it's been out a while now. Would you recommend this knife for EDC?
 
How long will that lock last? I see they have made the knife where you can adjust it for wear?
 
It's a very well put together knife and it's a nice size and weight. Plus it is rediculously smooth and the action is fast as lightening. The one thing that makes it not so great for me is the locking mechanism. It's very innovative, but I can't use it with one hand which bothers me and the edges are very sharp which is painful after unlocking it a few times.

So would I recommend it? For an everyday carry no, but for a really cool collectors piece with a really neat locking mechanism then yes.
 
I have been edc'ing mine since the day I got it, for weeks now.
I sheath carry it in a nylon 276 sheath.
Also, I figured out a way to one hand close it, when I need to :)

Smooth as silk and faster than lightning. Sharp as heck, and easy to resharpen or touch up.
Very pleased with it.

And did I mention it is light?
Half the weight of a 110 or my previous favorite edc the Alpha Folder. (Same size blade as the Alpha also)
 
I also open and close mine one handed! After playing with her for awhile there is a lot of awesome things you can do with the marksman!
 
To close one handed hold the knife tip up with a slight angle for the blade to fall closed, use your thumb to release the lock, mine closes everytime this way!
