I've been collecting knives for most of my life and have been serious about knife collecting for at least the past 15-20 years. I've had all sorts of knives in the price range from $20 all the way up $3k and this knife just hits right in that sweet spot of quality, usability and price. It is a fairly expensive knife to be sure but the value is 100% there. The build quality, fit and finish, blade steel, aesthetics, packaging and any other measure of a knife is spot on. The action is so addicting to fidget with that it makes it very difficult to put down. I really can't overstate how good the action is on it. The factory edge is laser sharp too and effortlessly cuts through anything I've thrown at it. One thing I love about it is that even though its a very expensive knife, it isnt one that I feel the need to keep locked away at home. I have carried it every day since it arrived and I don't have any plans of taking it out of the edc rotation any time soon. I didn't want to wait the 8 weeks for a custom one to be built so I just ordered one off of a different site to get it in hand and check it out and I like it so much that I'm now going to place an order for a custom one. I like it so much that I might not even sell my current one when the custom gets here lol. I just like it that much. If you're on the fence with this knife you really should just treat yourself and get one. If you like the overall aesthetics of the knife and it fits your needs the rest of it will not disappoint. I wish I had gotten one a long time ago. I also have a serif and it's an amazing balisong
