a lot of blade in a light, and grippy, package
This isn't a big knife folded in the pocket, and it is very light to carry, but open you get a decent amount of cutting edge. The scales are exceptionally grippy, yet still comfortable. When your hands are thick with engine oil or, um, elk grease, you can be confident you will still have good control of your knife. The materials aren't as posh as the higher end Spydercos, but it is well made and certainly works well, and the lower cost makes it a good, lightweight, capable, user knife.
