Overall impression? A great piece of EDC kit to abuse...
Already having owned the smaller version of this knife, I purchased this large version of the CRKT Pilar with the hope of greater functionality and ease of use in hand. Indeed, the large version has not disappointed. While the smaller version I had previously purchased is an unnecessary upgrade for opening mail and packages, this version is actually usable in a variety of settings. When compared to most of my other EDC knives, it seems that CRKT has a bit of a humorous take on what defines a “large” pocket knife as this Pilar, with a blade length of ~2.7” remains on the small end of usable. That shared, I keep this tucked in a Molle visor in the truck and call on it for use confidently and regularly.
I would recommend this product.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
This is now my EDC knife! It is ALWAYS on my person along with the Olight S1RBatonII Big enough for every day use and doesn't quite freak people out when I pull it out... well, most of the time anyway like some of my other knives would!

Great knife. Need bronze washers ( vrs nylon), to get a 5 star rating out of me. Bronze washers would turn this into an excellent buy.

Bought the large version with the upgraded steel. Came out of the box like far too many “big” manufacturers offerings. Sloppily assembled.
But it after tearing it down, dressing the bearing surfaces and putting it together as if I gave a damn it’s actually a pretty great little knife. Ergos that rival my current favorite in that respect, the Ferrum Forge Falcon. Of course the Falcon smokes the Pilar on action and it’s got a bit more blade. But if you’re looking for a robust, compact, highly ergonomic, high value utility blade this is about the best alternative to the Falcon I’ve found.

only complaint is the screws won’t come out on this one
custom back is a no go

I like this knife quite a bit, but when the clip is changed to allow point-up carry, it pressed against the edge of the scallops in the side plate for the lock, wearing your pants when you draw it. Otherwise, it's a good knife for the price.

I think this was a case where I let public opinion coax me into a purchase. So many apparent "knife guys" liked this knife, & raved about the action, & ergo's of this knife. I just don't care for super small working knives, but when they supersized it, I jumped. Oh well, it's only a few bucks but still, that same $35 would've bought a Ruike 801 and had change left........ So, complaints. Okay I can only address the knife I got, & I've not been able to center the blade without over tightening the pivot. Teflon washers? Come on, man. Also given the weak detent I don't know that bronze washers would've been enough to game the knife's action into much more than okay. Finally, I guess if you've built a knife that's almost guaranteed to require frequent disassembly then how much an upgrade in the quality of your screws add to your final cost? The same could be said for phosphor bronze washers. Okay, that pretty well sums it up for me, hope everyone else had better luck.
