The blade is a bit thin and has quite a bit of wobble to it. Beautiful knife, but not really a good everyday carry.
First of all it is a beautiful knife. Finely crafted and good looking. It is a good size and the mechanical action is most satisfying. The blade is very sharp. I would recommend this knife 100%
I ordered two of these, one for me, one for my father-in-law. I ordered on two separate dates, about a week or so apart. Shipping takes a while, so if you want the knife quickly, pay for the expedited shipping. When my knife finally arrived it was broken right out of the box. I tried pushing the button and it would not move, literally would not budge. I held the knife upside down and the blade slide out, held the knife right side up and it slide back down in the body. After contacting CS about this I finally requested a return label and sent it back. I just got the 2nd knife and it seems to be working fine. Good heavy feel and good action.
I really liked what I saw when I saw this knife online, but as a few reviewers have already said, the pictures don't do it justice. It's got a nice heft to it, the mechanism works very well indeed, and the design is gorgeous. I didn't realize when ordering that it also comes with a really nice (and practical) carrying case that you can attach to just about anything using the velcro strap.
I didn't notice while ordering that this piece is also available in black, which appeals a little more to my taste. (although both versions look great). I sent an email to their customer service team asking if they could switch my order to the black version if it had not shipped yet. They told me they'd do their best to make it happen, and they came through for me.
The knife is a little pricey, but WELL worth it IMHO.
It is a beautiful knife with a brilliant action but the first one arrived broke. Tekto was brilliant and replaced it immediately but I have seen someone else with the same issue
