<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9746674, member: 76316"]5" long closed, 3 1/2" blade, 5.3 oz. It is open-framed, liner-locked, an' rigged for one-handed opening (for a right-hander). There is no spring, but a subtle hidden detent keeps the blade in place when stowed.The blade is wedge (flat) ground on both sides, an' the edge is sharp, without evidence of any dressing since the factory. When folded, the blade is dead-centered between the liners.There is <i>nothing</i> sharp or otherwise offensive to the hand about this knife; every part has been well processed to be smooth in every way, save the thumb-knob, which has good tactile machining. The scales may be stainless, treated as the blade an' liners are with a black electro-finish, or simply anodized aluminum. The pattern micro-machined into their surface is as attractive as it is functional. The blade swings between two white (nylon?) spacers/bearings; it'll require nary drop of oil, ever. Lastly, the liner-lock thumb-rest is sculpted an' embossed to allow comfort as well as secure function.</p><p>It is very lightly used, as far as I can see...but there's no evidence of harsh or abusive activity.</p><p>The sweetest thing about it for me was the modest cost: $5.00!
