An excellently built knife, very solid feeling. All metal edges are eased and polished, on both the blade and handle (except along the swedge, they always seem to grind that in after beveling edges). Fitment between the liners and G10 is so good on this one it feels like final shaping was done after assembly Action is smooth, drops shut with the slightest shake. Detent is perfect on this one; snappy to open with flipper, can't shake it open.

Internals look good, tight tolerances on everything.
D shaped pivot for keeping that aligned. Again, wish they would've used the metal caged bearings, rather than the plastic molded bearings.
Only real complaints though are 2 things I'd consider design flaws: On the left below, the standoff should be recessed lower in the handle, like the one by the clip. This one is felt running a finger down the spine, it's a bit annoying.

Second, on the right above, the heel of the blade is practically flush with the back of the handle. Not just annoying, downright dangerous. Going to have to alter the blade to keep from getting cut on that.
As impressed as I am without knife overall, that one safety concern is the reason I need to knock off 1 star 😞 If you're willing and able to regrind the heel a bit, then it can be made a 5 star knife IMO.
Oh, and also of note: as another member stated, this knife does NOT come with a pouch. It's delivered in Bestech's small knife box, just a knife in a bag. But after reaching out to MD support they have agreed to issue a partial refund on an amount comparable to what they discount on Spyderco pouches.... But you're gonna have to ask for it.

KavikI noticed the heel of the blade on the spine as well and thought it was a bit dangerous too. Excellent review, and thanks for the info on the pouch, I'll definitely reach out to MD.
