Wanted to try MKM and I like slipjoints, so this seemed perfect. Very nice design and nice action on the knife. Grinds are even, but the grinder’s satin is slightly uneven. The handle scales feel great in the hand. As others have mentioned, the tip is very close to being exposed when closed. Not a huge deal since I prefer using a slip. Overall, very pleased.

4 out of 5 Excellent modern slipjoint

The walk and talk, fit and finish and blade steel all make this an excellent example of what is possible with modern slip joint knives.
