Well, I've had this knife for several days now, and have put it through detailed inspection, and its' share of testing. Obviously, you have to be into "this sort of knife" to appreciate it. The multiple grinds are exceptional as are the matching of Satin and High Polished finishes. The more I play with it, the more I consider it to be a formidable defense weapon, disguised as a work of art. The Zero Grind on the primary blade edge is scary sharp. The serrations have some real bite to them, and sawed through 1/4" wood like it was merely cardboard. The liner lock is also the strongest I've ever come across. You need two hands to close this baby, yet it opens with a firm flick of the flipper, or a little wrist action with the thumb stud. YUN, I now understand your teachers' request for you to fabricate the liner lock in this manner. The Stag bolsters and Rosewood Burl scales put the finishing touch on this very fine piece.

Also, dealing with YUN in Thailand is no hassle at all. I had the knife within one week of his shipping it. All in all, it was a pleasure doing business with YUN, and would not hesitate doing it again.
