Lovely knife, was a little worried when I read last review about the groove being sharp, mine has the right amount of bite to feel confident in your grip of it but not worried about it hurting my fingers. its on my keys now replacing a very old SAK, review is of the Blue version.

The knife is aesthetically a beautiful piece of design, attractive (even cute) when open and unique with the amount of blade showing when shut. But it has two peculiarities which combine into a real risk. The backspring is astonishingly strong (6 or 7), so it can't be opened or shut one-handed (at least by me), and the nail nick, which extends into the back of the blade, is wickedly sharp all the way along. This means that people are taking a risk of cutting themselves on the nick itself whenever they open the knife, since one has to grip the blade very tightly and pull on it very hard to overcome the resistance of the spring. There isn't enough blade to avoid the nick. Although I am fond of the knife both open and shut, I consider the transition between the two to be unacceptably hazardous.

Thin and so lightweight. The orange colour of this one is not a fluorescent hue, but rather understated. The base of the spine had sharp corners, but a few strokes with a file sorted that, with a thick paper wrap protecting the liners and scales. The action is stout on this sample; two hands are needed to open it. Overall, the construction is very tidy. No gaps of light are visible at the back spring. This pocket knife is small enough to be called cute. Super comfortable in a pocket. Well pleased with this one!

Lovely small knife. Just grab the blade between thumb and forefinger and pull it open. I don't put my thumbnail into the nail nick. The only thing sharp on my knife is the cutting edge. Fair price too.
