I recieved my bugout in ranger green a few days ago, I've carried it and used it everyday since, my first impressions of this knive would be"wow thing thing is light, it looks awesome, it's super thin, a bit on the small side for my liking, i would of liked a little more beef over all, the blade finish/coating soaks up oils and shows fingerprints more than any other knife i have, i love it but it has flaws".

Then maybe I'll look into something in the smaller size Congrats to whomever made this knife better. When you can have a knife as light as the Bugout and still have it boast of quality materials--it's a winner in my mind. Feels rather flimsy. I almost returned it because it was stiff and gritty on opening. Great knife from a company I'm disappoint in. It is a gift, it's for my son. Axis lock works well. I haven't been able to put it down since I got it. I would not want to have this as my only knife if I had to bug out or when disaster strikes. Perfect addition to anyone's EDC lineup.
