I've had one for 3 or 4 years. It's a pretty good knife, especially for the price. But make no mistake, it's a beefy hunk of stainless steel. It weighs over 7 ounces - my Kel-Tec weighs less. It's definitely noticeable when I carry it. But that massiveness makes it one of the few liner locks I completely trust, and it's got the LAWKS to boot. It takes a good edge, though it doesn't hold it as long as a Benchmade ATS34 blade does.
Overall, it's a good knife to have around. Maybe a little burdensome for everyday carry, but a great comfort when you're going out at night.

While it is a hand full of a knife I have carried the large model daily for quite awhile, without out to much discomfort. IMHO it is probably one of the best designed fighting folders out there!

Outstanding knife.

I had one of the smaller ones when SMKW was closing them out for $20. Like all CRKT's they are well built and designed. I didn't keep it long because I got sick of sharpening it all the time. As shotgunkevin said, it takes a good edge, but doesn't hold it well. That's a common theme with the AUS-6 steel that CRKT uses on some of their knives. That said, it's still a good knife. Yes, they are heavy, but some people actually prefer such things. IIRC, the ergonomics weren't too bad. Very smooth action.

I have a large and a small version. I like them both. Very nice knives.
