So cool! Amaze your friends or just amuse yourself!
CRKT does it again! An amazing knife... it's worth having for the engineering alone!

Knifey.
This knife is awesome. Looks cool, innovative design works well. It's a little more tricky than the Snap Lock 2, but that's what you get when you get a larger knife that uses the frame as a spring. More size means more frame. It takes a little bit of practice to open smoothly. I only got one small nick from it, while overzealously opening it in the first few minutes I had it.

Innovative meachanism, high quality knife
I purchased this from a different vendor, but I am impressed with this piece of work. It has a very simple yet ingenious mechanism for locking the blade in open and closed positions. There is essentially no way for it to open without you meaning for it to. Once you get the hang of it it's easy to open and close, although flipping out the blade quickly seems difficult.

It is customizable for left or right-handed people; included in the kit are an extra clip and screws for changing the handedness of the knife. It fits well on a key chain and always gets comments from anyone who sees it. I've taken the clips off for ambidexterity.

The blade is short, but strong. I've used it to cut some plastic and it worked very well. The grip is good, but I'm guessing if you have large hands it may not be so easy to grasp.

My only complaint is that the finish on the blade doesn't seem to be so good, as it is wearing off slowly in some places. But hey, it's an excellent knife otherwise.

I normally don't do surveys as I have much better things to do with my time, but since you incest, I'll do this one time only. If I'm asked again I will have to consider shopping elsewhere.

The vendor was extremely prompt and accurate with the order that I placed as to the quantity and item requested.

No complaints.
