This blade is attractive, has an amazingly smooth flick-out action AND drop. I’ve had mine for a few months now and I’ve used it to open countless boxes, cut meat, zip ties, etc. - still nearly as sharp as it was when I got it. The blade is super easy to keep clean, the N690 in the blade doesn’t allow it to stain in the slightest and the G10 in the handle is solid enough to where it hasn’t been damaged in the slightest. Amazing purchase, I’ve been proud to use it as my EDC.
