One of My Favorite OTFs, but...
I was super excited to receive this knife when I first ordered it.
First, it's a U.S.A. made OTF.
Second, it's a single-action OTF, which intrigued me because I hadn't used one before.
Third, it was double-edged.
And fourth, it's an OTF!!!
My first firing of the blade was lackluster because my finger was in the path of the charging lever. D'oh!

I figured out how to stay out of the way of the charging lever, it was FIRE!!!...for the most part. There are occasions in which it seems to fire softly. (More on this in a bit.)
Immediately--especially as someone who likes to fidget--it was evident that the two-handed recharging (the returning of the blade) was going to get old quickly.
I was determined to figure out how to fire and reload the Para-X one-handed, and with a little experimenting, I did. Now it has a fidget factor of its own.
Unfortunately, with the constant opening and closing in a short amount of time, I started to notice rubbing on the blade, so it's not centered. Yikes!!! And being on OTF, it's not like there's a pivot I can adjust and I'm not willing to take it apart, either.
Now I wonder how much this slight rubbing has been affecting the performance of the action all along. Remember the part about firing softly? This may have been the reason.
I'm in the process of reaching out to Asheville Steel about their lifetime warranty (as mentioned on their website) and to see what recourse I have to get this fixed.
At the moment, I've left a voicemail and sent an email over the weekend. I'm looking forward to hearing back. Now it's just a waiting game.
This minor dissatisfaction, however, hasn't dissuaded me from putting one of their gravity knives on layaway.
I'm very fascinated with their product lineup. They seem to have some unique and interesting designs.
