After hearing all the rave reviews of the Drop Bear, I finally managed to pick one up on sale. Not gonna lie, out of the box, it was nice, but not SUPER nice like everyone says. The action is smooth, but you still notice the ball bearings a little bit. The in-hand fit is comfortable, but a little chunky. The blade was perfectly centered with no side or up/down play. The coolest feature of the knife, however, is definitely the clutch lock, specifically the adjustable tension. I tried out each point, and my favorite has to be the 2nd lightest position--it makes for a very fidgety knife without the detent being too loose. If I could put it between the 2nd and middle position, I would ideally like it there, but that's the beauty of the knife, you can adjust it almost exactly to your preference.
Initially, flicking this thing open felt okay. Not as satisfying as my Bugouts, but a nice bar lock knife. I noticed that when I wear headphones, I enjoy flicking it open more because I don't hear as much of the low end "clunk" from the aluminum scales.
If I were to suggest one thing to improve upon for the Drop Bear 1.5/2.0, Kizer should keep the silhouette of the knife, but introduce some thinner scales and liners, maybe even out of titanium.
