This has been my every day knife for about a month now. I can't put it down.
Earlier this year I met a new knifemaker here in Southern California. After fiddling with a couple of his folders I knew I would own one.
I called him up and gave him my wish list. It took a while and I patiently, or at least pretended to patiently, waited.
His knives were nice, but I asked for somethings he was still working on. Making green anodized titanium, dove tailing the scales and bolsters, and a few other bits.
In the end, the wait was worth it. The fit and finish is awesome. The green ti is great. The balance is very nice and the blade locks up solid.
