The knife features thin black G-10 over skeletonized SS liners. The knife has a lockback with Boye detent, and a slightly negative blade angle to the handle. The somewhat negative angle creates a shorter arc to open the knife, so it's quick to deploy.
The VG-10 blade has a recurve hollow grind. There are traction grooves on the thumb ramp, but the rest of the knife is traction bump/groove free.
Being a Spyderco enthusiast, I do miss the lack of a forward choil, but the incorporated forward guard does provide a great, confidence inspiring grip! It feels very lively in the hand, and the thinness and relatively lightweight package should make it a dream to carry.
Oh, did I mention it's huge?? Only in length, it's very thin.
