but while I have had this since last Christmas, a gift from my daughter and now son-n-law, they did good , I didn't carry it as much. I had a couple new knives come in and that got put in the back seat for a long time, until about 2 weeks ago actually. As I had a new Sebenza Insingo that I got with micarta scales, but, it wasn't what I ended up really liked and am in the process of selling it off. Fast forward to now, as I thought to myself, what I NEED is a blade that has a lowered point, not a full wharncliff type but a slight curve would be handy, an integral locking bar and comfortable handle with texture so as not to be slippery and then I could almost hear the click inside my head as the switch flipped and the light came on. I thought, almost out loud :cool: HEY, I have JUST the ticket setting in my knife drawer! And got it out and fell in love all over again.Now while it appears that it is a liner lock, you can tell that the lock bar is above the scales so when gripped, you just tighten the lock all that much more. And as other knives have a stop bar thingy to prevent over extending the lock bar when you unlock the knife, the PPT has the side of the scale just enough up to halt the lock bar from going out any further than it needs to.
I recently had a slight worry as the opening of the knife was so gritty as to think that the washers were damaged, but, I put a few drops of Nano Oil on the detent ball and that was all that was needed to make it swing open as slick as could be, must have gotten some grit it didn't like. I get that with some Mexican food sometimes
So, Thanks Sal and crew for putting out such a great folder, I know I'm as fickle as a young girl sometimes when it comes to keeping knives, but ya gotta endeavour to persevere ... or words to that effect.

Other than that..... it's a great knife..... I guess.
