   The lock feature is really awesome for opening one handed with either hand. I am a landscaper so I use this for all types of cutting and slicing applications and this is razor sharp straight out of the box. It feels great in my large hands. The handle texture feels awesome in my palm. It also has nice grip. It is a bit heavy in the pocket but it is so cool and practical that I don’t mind it’s weight. I have played with Benchmade axis lock and this is more fun to open one handed and it looks so much cooler. I see a few reviews about the lock mechanism being a bit sharp or hard to open with your hand. If you are a tough human with strong hands and callus you won’t have a problem!

   Knife is almost perfect but build quality is an issue. The lock bar screw came loose out of the box creating a gap. I tried to tighten it down multiple times but it just spins and spins because the female side of the screw assembly doesn’t have anything to stop it.

   Love this knife. It has a unique mechanism that allows for easy opening and locking. It is a solid knife. It has a nice weight to is that gives it a sturdy feeling in your hand.

   As I was saying…
   The AUS10A steel is actually very good! I was concerned, but after reviewing it here and other professionals online, I took the plunge. And I’m so glad I did!!
   You will NOT go wrong with this knife! Razor sharp is the truth, especially after I honed it on my diamond rod. Slices through paper, tape, etc like hot butter.
   Don’t hesitate, especially at this UNBELIEVABLE price point… or you’ll regret it.

   Lock is interesting but definitely takes some getting used to. Thumb studs are seemingly pointless for opening as holding the handle to get enough grip to use them also keeps the lock bar engaged. I dislike that the stop pins overtravel the lock, meaning if you flip it open it will often times end up past the lock position and need to pressed back down to engage the lock (see photo for a visual explanation). Build quality is acceptable but nothing special. My knife arrived with the blade incorrectly centered and will need to be adjusted. Blade arrived acceptably sharp.

   This knife has a very unique locking system. It feels pretty solid in the hand. Definitely not a fidget knife. Not a light knife either. Overall pretty cool, but the lock isn’t easy to use or comfortable. So minus 1 star.

   Its kinda cool or whatever… but ultimately it’s a two handed gear peice. Not really one handed. It’s what it is. Outside of that, it is sharp and sturdy.

    This is a little stiff opening and closing. Nice sturdy feel to it. It was a little bigger than I expected. Once I got it loosened up, and carried it a few days.
    , I fell in like with it. I thought about the scorpion lock and how it works. I feel it’s the safest lock yet. So with feel, the sturdy make up and safest lock I see on the market so far great knife. I would like to see a liter weight, a bit smaller. For wearing shorts or when I’m not at work.

    I have several Cold Steel knives and love all of them. This one is very sharp but for a lite knife it’s a bit on the heavier side. The lock mechanism is a little different so it takes some getting used to.
