EDIT: I want to note that I have carried this knife and used it several times a day for about five years now. This is a thing close to my heart. I attribute most but not all of the beauty of this knife to it's designers. Every once in a while there is just a lucky coming together of design, materials, construction and user, and my relationship with this thing has been just that. This isn't a thing to wow you or instantly feel like the best thing on the planet, this is a tool to merge with and to beat on and then care for and then repeat for many years. Have you ever seen a tool from the stone age, that looks so beautiful and refined and delicate that it doesn't seem possible that anyone ever used it, but at the same time it shows the wear of a lifetime of use? Thats what I think of when I think of how much this thing has been through, how many times I used it to pry something apart or remove staples or used it as a screwdriver or wrenched on the pivot with all my strength or used it as a pipe cutter or a bottle opener or to push stripped screws out of something or as a punch or a hammer, sandblasted it to get resin off of it, used it to cut open bottles of battery acid, and how the thing is so slim and sleek and how I still keep it sharp with ease because it won't chip or break or get dents in the edge too easily. (I have seen lots of spyderco's and kershaw's do just those sort of things.) And still it opens with ease, clicks closed or locks open with no play even after all that. A very lucky little knife, and a lucky man I am to have one. People will like different things, the right hand clip is one potential issue, and who knows what else, but this is just one of my favorite things that makes me happy when I think about it.
I was a bit surprised how small it was when I opened the box though. I’m sure it listed off the dimensions in the description. But in the picture it appeared to be bigger.

I was a bit surprised how small it was when I opened the box though. I’m sure it listed off the dimensions in the description. But in the picture it appeared to be bigger.
It is simple, clean, light and tight.
Sadly, it doesn't really fit my specific needs and preferences
It is definitely a bargain.
Opens easy (after a little breaking in) and locks up good. (mine is the frame lock - I did carefully mess with it a little to make it easier to disengage)
This knife seems more like a very big (and very nice) pen knife instead of the small utility knife I really have been looking for as the smaller of two that make my EDC.
It is not the "perfect" small knife for me perhaps, but I think I will be very happy using it until I eventually find or make the one I really want.
Overall, while I like everything about this knife I would think an inch smaller or inch large version of this would be a better use of the design.
Maybe people with meatier hands do better with gripping the very thin, flat handle or maybe it's my age (59), but I think a more ergonomic grip would be better.
My hands are on the average/thin side, about 7 inches long and 3.5 inches across the palm.
Just for me, personally - as a general-purpose smaller pocketknife...
1. the blade seems a bit long for the kind of tasks I envision for a smaller knife.
2. the handle is very narrow and flat, which is cool but is not real stable until it's in my fist. (Like during opening and closing)
3. handle is also a little long for carrying loose in pocket (without clip). (shorter blade would fix that)
4. handle would benefit from scales with a little belly to support drawing cuts and a more positive grip.
5. pocket clip is unreasonably stiff. I can probably torque that a little and be happy with it.
