Bestech knocked it out of the park with this little guy. I have huge hands with sausage fingers and when I choke up on the finger Choil on this guy it locks in securely. Beautiful fit and finish this is my new every day carry.

Just slightly too small for my (large) hand but in every other way an excellent little EDC blade. Light and nondescript in the pocket but remarkable looking in use. I tied a short lanyard to the end for purchase retrieving it from my pocket and flipping it.
Overall, I'm glad I joined the drop.

I love this unique pocket knife. Small yet well-built, with a highly useful blade shape in excellent steel. Ergonomics are great when utilizing the forward choil.

I have a large collection of folders, this one disappointed. It is a very well made knife, however in my opinion the design is flawed. Without taking it apart and re-lubricating, it does not flip well or completely. My hands are average size and this is the only knife that has ever "bit " me on the outward flip. Don't have time to write a novel here - just want to weigh in.

So far its a great little knife. I have mostly owned larger knives (3.5") and this one almost feels like a gentleman's folder in the carbon fiber trim. The blade grind is shiny but has some texture and the blade edge is razor sharp. The pocket clip also has some pen like characteristics It took a little bit of tuning to get the flipper action I was looking for, just a hair too tight on the pivot from the factory. My only complaint is the quality of my specific knife. The edges on the spine of the blade have some light abrasions towards the tip that are noticeable if you look closely.

It's a great little knife, handy for those times when you leave freedomland and wander into some over-regulated craphole (e.g. Chicago) with extreme blade length restrictions.

One of my favorite change pocket knives
Ergonomics are great. Action is excellent. Size is perfect for a secondary carry.

Great little knife!
This is an impressive little knife. The fit and finish is excellent. Blade centering is perfect. The flipper action is quite good, and it's very ergonomic. The only reason I deducted a star is the knife was designed for use with the finger choil, and your finger is extremely close to the cutting edge. Uncomfortably close for me.

-------------------- First post : Nice little knife overall, think in going to enjoy this one Insanely comfortable when choked up on it past the finger guard Sharp, with an even grind out of the box. Blade centers perfectly and everything is nice and tight.
Only have one complaint so far, and that's the combo of the placement of the detent ball and finger guard. Not sure if i can describe this quite right, but here goes: When closing the knife, if my thumb is right in the groove for the lock bar, the flipper/guard hits my thumb JUST as the lock bar releases, but before the detent ball has passed the edge of the blade, so it gets hung up on the ball. To fix this i either need to push on the lock bar below the thumb groove, or push harder and pinch my thumb a little with the flipper. Had the detent ball been moved forward on the lock bar by about half a mm this wouldn't have been an issue
And a couple side by side pics with a knife that many here are familiar with ;)
-------------------- Second post: Just a follow up review for anyone who's still watching this:
Picked up a twin for my Goblin in a fancy black tie trim from @Scraps here.
I cleaned off all the factory grease, flipped the washers over so the bearings had a smooth surface to ride on again, re-oiled and reassembled, being careful not to over-tighten this time.Happy to say that the two knives have equally perfect action now. Blade springs open with a solid snap now every time, no mis-fires, closes with a single shake after getting the detent ball past the edge of the lockbar. I just wanted to share that for any of the people I've seen comment about less than perfect action from their Bestechs here, it might be worth cracking it open and checking for marring on the washers. And as for the carbon fiber: it's super nice in person. Matte finished, smooth and well machined but still almost grippy in the hand.But now I understand why there aren't any really great pictures of it, this stuff is a bitch to photograph, here's a comparison of how it looks with 2 different light sources:
And a very unflattering angle for the blade, but showcases the CF well:
Lastly, I just realized there was a lot of discussion over blade size before the drop, but didn't see anyone verify it since, so here's what I got for that:
