Ahhh...the clip. I have discovered that whether or not I use the clip (and love the clip) depends entirely on the pants I'm wearing. In some instances it won't let go of my pants and I feel a little silly and conspicuous trying to pull it out. In other cases it is almost too easy to pull out, and I fear it will snag on something one day and be pulled right out of my pocket. I like the clip and it is a low profile affair that I do not intend to remove. It is simply a situational decision. Unlike Ors, I didn't get the impression that it is overly flexible, but this is only my second knife with a clip.

The blade is superb and the Axial locking mechanism is solid. One handed opening is a breeze.

The stone wash finish has a low sheen. The tweed scales pick up the light, but they are not bright under normal light conditions.

In my brief experience with this knife, it does not seem to scare people when I take it out of my pocket. The one handed opening is less of a flick and relies more the weight of the handle. I'm sure that alleviates some concerns. It has an heirloom quality that people associate with a favorite grandfather's pocket knife, not a tough tactical/survival tool.
