<p style="text-align: center;">Well .. I received it Monday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">However .. have been able to do little more than unpack it.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Well .. I received it Monday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">However .. have been able to do little more than unpack it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I did the once over. Fit'-n-'finish is quite acceptable for the price.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In fact .. it's easily as good as I've seen on knives twice the price.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The double lockback feature is secure & easy to use .. easier than I recall the Camillus being ..which.. I cannot locate at the moment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The bolsters & caps are ever so slightly dovetailed .. need to post a pic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Presumably .. to help hold the scale material from warping ..or.. pulling away from the frame.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'd noticed this approach on another knife just recently .. a Rough Rider.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Same subtle angle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This knife is heavier (3.7 oz) & larger (4.125 closed) than I usually EDC. So I'll likely just be taking it out into the field .. occasionally.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Given the price .. I bought this as a user.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Blade steel is specified as 440 High Carbon stainless.<br/>The blade is etched "440 STAINLESS"</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">SO0ooo .. it's either 440A or 440B .. most likely.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I can find nowhere on the web where 440HC is definitively identified.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It's widely discussed ..but.. is NOT official nomenclature relative to the 440 series of SS.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It is a marketing term.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The knife arrived sharp. Quite sharp !!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The manufacturer's rated hardness is 58 +/- 1 HRC.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I purchased this as a user ..sooo.. I sharpened it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A good quick way to get a feel for the blade hardness.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I used a 1000 grit diamond whetstone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I instantly turned a slight wire edge over. Not something I see happen with Queens PH-D2.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Queen's rated hardness for their PH-D2 is 58.5 +/- 0.5 HRC.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Somebody is fibbing .. imo.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Anyway .. will get it out in the field now that warmer weather is present .. and do a little actual cutting.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'll see ..'n report.. how it stands up there.</p>

Camillus took a slightly different approach.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Note: The recessed areas to release the backspring .. are offset from one another.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It certainly added to the safety ..but.. detracted from the ease of unlocking. The other backspring right next to it .. impeded the depressing of the desired backspring & release of the open blade.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.<br/>Beyond the general build & fit-n-finish .. that's a practical aspect I'll be critiquing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'll dig the Camillus out for a side by side comparison.</p>
