I have one, and it is a very well made knife. Nicely finished, and very sharp. This knife makes a great medium sized EDC folder. The blade shape is very useful, and the lock is solid. However, I don't find that it flips open as easily as some of my other Kershaws. I use the thumb studs on this one, as the flipper actually requires quite a bit of wrist to flip it open, and I don't like to do that. This could just be my knife though and your mileage may vary. I don't find this to be an issue with the knife though, and I recommend it highly. That being said, if you are really looking for a fast flipper, try one out first and see what you think about the action.
