Received my Crux on Monday, and I'm very pleased with the offering. It's a great size, the fit and finish are first-rate, and the action is superb. It's a very good flipper--much better than the Falcon I received a while back--and while it's no Grimsmo Rask nor Shirogorov Neon, it's flies open easily. The action is smooth, and while it doesn't fall shut; you can close it with a slight break of the wrist. It's about the same size and heft of my Reate Wave, and as such, I anticipate carrying it as part of my regular rotation for the next couple years.
The Crux arrived with a great edge--I had no problem slicing magazine pages nor telephone book leaves. Man, this is a superb 125-dollar knife. Just great. I look forward to my double order of the FF Gent and plan to gift one for the holidays. Fingers crossed.
Pics! The Crux between the Rask and the Wave, and it's right at home. And with a watch for size comparison.

hatmanVery well. The action is similar, although at present, my Wave is a little stiffer, but that's because I've not carried it very much for the last couple months. I've been carrying my Falcon, a Grimsmo Rask, and now, this Crux.
The Wave is 115 g v. 126 g for the Crux, or roughly 4 oz v. 4 1/2 oz, but keep in mind that that includes the lanyards on both the knives. I'm not taking those off.
The blades are similar, although as you can see, the Crux blade is a touch wider with a bit more belly to its shape. Both do a nice job of cutting, and the actions are similar.
If you like the one, you'll probably like the other. (Although some purists might take issue with the Wave's inlays. I think they're cool, and different from most everything else out there.)
I received the Wave as a Christmas gift this past year and carried it pretty much solely for about six months afterwards. I hope I get as much satisfaction from the Crux. I think I will.
