Hello guys! I just saw this drop and thought I'd share my story about this knife. I'm in no way related to the CRKT brand, I'm just very content with my purchase i made around 6 years ago. This has been my EDC knife since then. I'm a landscape gardener and this knife had - and still has to - endure quite a bit of stress. The dual-safe-thingy they build in those knives doesn't really like the dirt I had in my pockets and I had to remove it after the first year. The tip broke off last year, because I was (drunkenly) removing an arrow out of a barn door. I had to (roughly) grind a new one. The steel is unbeliveably rigid, which means sharpening does take its time, but when its sharp, it does stay that way. The one-hand flipping mechanism is great and helps when you have to hold something in your one hand and you need to grab and open your knife with the other. It's easy to disassemble, modify and clean and just fits in your pocket without you noticing until you need it. I can only recommend getting this knife, there was only one time where I thought that the blade was too short and that was two years ago, when I was opening drinking coconuts at our vacation. It did work, though. Apart from that, I can't think of a better EDC companion.
Here is how it looks after more than 6 years of heave (ab)use:

The scratches on the back and the front are from opening beer bottles, which works like a charm.

fitschbitschHave one of those from two years ago. Has held up around the same but looks way better than yours - guess I haven't used it enough.
Great knife.

fitschbitschWow, that is a well used knife! Why don't you use a fixed blade knife instead? It would probably hold up quite a bit better than a small folder.

fountainpenguyYou're right, but I really wanted a knife that I can take everywhere I want to. I live in Germany and we have pretty strict laws considering knives and other "weapons".
