A beast
First off, there's no question that this is a cracking knife. Wonderful materials (I went for Ziricote) and the most substantial grip I own. I also love the "Action Stopper' mechanism to safely open and close the blade. However, when I received the knife, it made such a 'huge' impression that I immediately reached for my ruler to confirm 'UK-friendliness'... and that brings me to a point about this knife that I think buyers should consider... The max height of the blade is 27mm - more than an inch in old money. That's a huge folder blade and grip to contain it. It definitely doesn't make a traditional 'gentleman's folder' or 'pocket-knife' impression. Whipping it out in 'polite company' - in these hopelessly over-sensitive times we live in - will make people 'run for the exits'. Let's just call it the Grizzly Adams Gentleman's Folder. Luckily I'm out in the forest with the dogs on a daily basis and happily clip it in my pocket. While it is nominally a 'UK-friendly' knife - and a great knife at that - but not for all UK EDC situations.
