Best value for the knife
This knife is a great value for the money. The blade, glides and almost drops shut. The hole in the blade allows easy, gentle access to thumb flick or spider flick. The flipper tab is also nice, and the slight curve on the handle gives a subtle feeling that helps the flipper tab. The full size finger choil on the blade is also great.The knife is extremely generous with jimping, You have jimping everywhere your fingers are resting on. Jimping on the Finger Choil, Back spine of the blade, On the plastic handle itself, and on the liner lock.The handle itself is very light and the honeycomb pattern gives a great grip. The only slight negative would be that the blade itself seems to heavy, since the handle is so light.You can flick and fidget this blade with no problems and had great action right out of the box. Originally, I bought the spyderco Bird knife that was similar to this and it was terrible. Exactly opposite of what I wrote here, Honey Badger definitely is a great knife. They have a D2 version, but they got rid of the finger choils on them so I decided to stick to the SS version. Definitely a good knife and I'm probably going to pick up their sheepsfoot version next.

Wow!! I’m impressed. What a knife!
I have a lot of high end folding pocket knives, some in the 300 dollar range. This knife is right up there with them. The action is super smooth with the roller bearings pivot system that they use. The blade lock up is solid and reliable. The pivot bearing system is so smooth that the blade almost falls closed on its own weight when you release the lock. When the blade is locked out, there is no play in the the x or y direction. When the blade is closed, it’s perfectly centered. I’m going to be keeping an eye on this company. They are sure to be charging a lot more for their knives as they get better known. Get yours now. I’m going to be ordering more from this company. It will be an investment.

These knives exude sturdiness
What a quality knife. I have two of these knives; this is the smaller of the two. It is just personal preference as to which one you will like. I personally don't use this as and EDC knife as I quite often need an un-serrated blade to work with. If you need a good self defense knife it is hard to beat; in either size. When you snap this blade open it sounds like a bank vault closing.

Extremely well built for a budget folder.
For the price I didn't expect much but it is an extremely well built and designed knife! No rough edges, extremely smooth and easy opening and closing action. Handle fits great in my hand and the extra jimping on the blade ensures a secure grip. Very impressive so far!

Great modern hawkbill.
Bought as a gift for my Florist mother-in-law. She exclusively uses hawkbill knives to trim flower stems and had been using vintage slip joints. Haven’t give it to her yet, but as a knife guy, this thing is awesome quality for the price.

Great EDC knife
So i purchased this knife per recommendation from a friend and let me say I am beyond impressed. I've been a huge Spyderco and kizer customer for years now so I had low expectations for this knife, especially at this price point.Starting with the blade steel, 8Cr13MoV isn't the best, but it's still a great steel. Holds an edge well.The scales are done very well. FRN is a great material. I "personally" prefer G10 but that's just a personal preference.Not a fan of the liner lock mainly because the action on the knife is so smooth. Not a bad thing just need to be attentive while closing.My one and only complaint/recommendation is that i wish the belt clip was reversible. I'm accustomed to my knife being in my right pocket not my left.Aside from that, this is a fabulous knife to EDC, especially for the price point. Would strongly recommend it.

Sweet knife
great knife. Been banging it around and no blemishes in the blade. The medium size is a little small for me with the grip but would fit fine if I get a size larger.

Pretty nice knife.
I bought this for my daughter. I was impressed with how nice it is for the money. My daughter really likes it. It is well built and opens smoothly. Our family collects knives and uses them. It has become her main carry folder.
