Best knife I've owned so far. As a rancher with nerve damage (due to small arms and IRD wounds received in Afghanistan) that causes hand strength and movement issues, the ease this knife opens is perfect for quick use. To close is even easier with just a push of a button, the knife blade swings freely and folds up with no effort. After cutting through around 6 squeeze loads of alfalfa, the knife has held a nice sharp edge where cutting the bailing twine is still without effort. Definitely worth the $!!!
