Took a little while for me to figure out how to operate the lock with one hand, but it's nifty now that I have the hang of it. Shaving sharp out of the box (I have a bald patch of arm to prove it) and a sturdy constructon. Literally pocketable, and not likely to cause a scare in an urban area. Very nice aesthetics, this combined with the solid construction make it a candidate for heirloom status. This is a very nice knife.
