The Stonewash finish is a good protection from scratches and other wear marks. There are two ways of pushing the blade open – a thumb hole and a flipper tab. The flipper forms something like a ramp for hand, which helps in case of the forceful piercing. The blade opens very smoothly, thanks to the ball bearing system. The Frame Lock provides a reliable lock up to the blade when in use. The main advantage of this knives' new generation is riffling on the spine, handle, flipper, and locking portion of the frame.
