I have the model with the silver carbon fiber bolster, and it's just a stunning knife, with the silver c.f. contrasting with the light play on both the black contoured handle , and the swedge of the blade . The action is not merely good, but exceptionally so. The steel is well done, as is the edge . It's also light weight , making it easier to carry than most knives of its size. A home run, for sure, and a tremendous value at the price point .
