As a collector of high-end, mid-tech knives, I can confidently say this piece is close to perfection. The action is smooth as silk, allowing the blade to deploy effortlessly, while the drop enables it to close with incredible ease. Beyond its flawless engineering, the design is a visual masterpiece. It draws attention instantly, drawing compliments, oohs, and aahs whenever I show it to anyone. Martin and his talented team deserve a lot of praise for their meticulous craftsmanship. They have truly surpassed utilitarian toolmaking to create an incredible, investment-grade piece of functional art.
