Massdrop is full of enablers. I just got it today and as with my Paladin, I am very happy with the purchase. It wasn't as sharp out of box as my Paladin was, but nothing a little rod and strop therapy won't resolve. The handle feels great and everything is on par with my almost $200 Benchmade Adamas. Only critique is the same that I had for the Paladin and my MDxFF Gent, and that is I wish the blade was coated or available in a blackwash type finish. Other than that, it is actually a perfect size for EDC for me.
