I’m happy with it. It’s super smooth out of the box and it flips open nicely. Despite the massive blade stock it cuts well too.
The 14C28N blade steel and the micarta handle slabs are refreshing after D2 & G10 in this budget category.
Mine arrived 2 wheeks ago, i got the Yellow version
After ajusting the pivot a little and 2 days of use it became very smooth indeed.
I think it might become one of my top 10 favorite figit knives :sunglasses:
And how is the quality? Normally I always advise better to buy from recognized brands of the style than what I show on my blog and channel: sanrenmu, kubey, harnds and that.
What worries me is the tri-ad-lock, which is what I like the most about cold steel, along with its designs of course.
The overall fit & finish is at the same level as my original Talwar. The action is very smooth and the blade is centered but it has a slight vertical blade-play. All in all I’m quite happy with it.
