Well thought-out, beautiful knife. The brass is stonewashed, so holds up well. It will patina and pair very nicely with the green micarta. Blade design is awesome: slight recurve to keep sliced media in place, small finger choil allows one to choke up on the blade for push strokes or to rest index finger on spine for fine work, solid jimping and finger stop on spine. Even though it's over 4 oz, it disappears in the pocket. Blade stays steady and in place until one builds up enough pressure on the flipper to guarantee a full open. Classy and tough.
