I recently received my new Howard Viele knife. The postings on the Forum helped me decide that this was the knife for me. I love this knife! It is just the right size to carry...it is not too large and not too small and it should handle almost everything you would need a knife to do for everyday use. I also own the Wegner Mouse and really enjoy using the VG-10 steel that this knife also incorporates. I have found that the Viele has a very smooth action in opening/closing, much smoother than the Mouse. I had never had a knife with the inner liner lock before, but have come to love it with this knife. I purchased it with the straight edge mainly because for my use, I really didn't need serration and I would imagine that the straight edge will hold it's blade longer and is probably easier to sharpen when it does need sharpening....which hopefully isn't for awhile.
Well, anyways, for what it's worth, that's my review of the Viele. I highly recommend it if you can afford paying a few dollars more.
