I had the green Micarta version first, and had to get this red version because it's so so good. There's no better fidget model in my collection; and I'd be really impressed to handle a knife with the same dimensions/features that has a better action and overall feel - regardless of price. The flipper is tuned really well, the weight of the blade provides a satisfying lock-in click, even when deploying the blade "gently". The red Micarta is super nice: matte, smooth, and grippy all at the same time. (paper micarta?) At first I was bummed that the blade wasn't stonewashed like the green Micarta version, but not anymore. With the combined materials and workmanship, these are definite winners.
