I never really cared for this knife but it stays in the collection. The design makes this a very dangerous knife. The OAL of the knife is around 10". Both edges are razor sharp. The spring is the most powerful I've ever seen on any OTF auto. The release is located on the top strap of the handle and is very sensitave. if one was not careful abut the way he/she grabbed this knife from the pocket they could accidently hit the release and deploy the blade in the pocket resulting in a nice gnash on the thigh. This knife was never carried.
