I bought this to use on rougher or messier jobs than my beloved TRM Atom with burlap Micarta scales (about $250) and TRM Neutron with linen Micarta. It's an ounce and a quarter heavier than the Atom and thicker because of the heavily contoured G10. But it carries beautifully, far better than most Spydercos, those scales give a great grip, and it's probably the best value in an EDC folder out there. (The clip on the smaller model reportedly is an irritant on the grip, but that may be nitpicking.) I keep staring at this knife, unable to quite believe the quality. Whom can I buy one for? The grind, the edge, the lockup, the centering, the color intensity of the G10, the framelock release, the general aesthetics--all are excellent. D2 is a classic budget steel but I far prefer it to SV30. By far the best above-price item I have ever bought on Amazon.
