I love this knife, sharp as sin out of the box and has a decent, balanced weight in the hand. No bells and whistles, just hard, folding steel honed to a razor.
Disappointment
Nowhere in the pictures do they show what the knife really looks like. It feels like something my little brother would put together, the blade being the only professional feeling part of the whole mess. It came scratched, greasy and dirty, and smelled weird. The blade is extremely thick and sharp and feels durable, but it's impossible to open with one hand and somewhat of a task… read more with two. Will try to return it but wow, what a pathetic excuse for a knife.

Fast delivery, great price. Yeah, three tone blade requires more than a squint and a rich imagination. There is enough friction to securely keep it closed in pocket, but one would have to have a very generous pocket to purpose this as an EDC. The thumb tab is a clever and functional bit of safety. The blade edge is sharp out of the box and with just a wee bit of attention can be… read more brought up very sharp in no time. I leave mine on the counter and have used it daily. It feels good to do so.
Nice piece of history
Pros:
it came sharp
I love the blade shape
it's relatively easy to open
It's a nice size
As a history buff it's awesome to own historical knives
Cons:
3 tone steel isn't very visible
it free floats in the pocket but I knew that would happen when I bought it
However despite the Cons it's a soild knife for the price
Cool
So I like this knife, but. . .
Difficult to carry as it is quite long and only a friction folder. And the 3 tone steel? Very exagerated in the pictures, cannot hardly tell and graduation differences in the knife I received. I like the knife, it has found a home in my work apron where I can use it and appreciate it without it opening in my jeans' pocket.
