ikaz10Hi
thank you for the review!
Anout the lefty’s, I’m actually a lefty myself (well ambidextrous) and get the problem with the clip BUT it is seldom me making the decision on this. If you
look at the GiantMouse.com ACE line, we actually put out most knives with clip options for both sides. In my custom line I only do right handed knives because that is what I prefer now (hard forced schooling of the righteous 😉) and I HATE a presentation side with holes and gaps for a clip.
all the best to you and yours

VoxnaesThank you for taking the time to reply! I actually have about 6 GM knives :-D LOVE them! I get the design preference for not wanting gaps and holes on the presentation side (even though the suru is full of them hahaha) for a clip. If I did not enjoy your knives so much, I would not have so many and I would only carry one at a time and not even think of left hand carry options hahaha! I like the idea of the clip screwed into the end of the knife, like your Belone, however, due to the curve of the clip and angle of the end of the knife, it does not reverse. However, it would not be as elegant with a straight clip as it is with the curved. Not a deal-breaker for me because I keep ending up with more and more of your knives. Thank you, again, for taking the time to reply to my review.

Big knife in a small body
I had high expectations for this knife and have to say it met them. I love the ergonomics of it. The blue is slightly deeper (and more beautiful) than the photos suggest. My detent has no issues (Sad to hear about the below). I will say that the frame lock is a little tight and requires the right angle or slightly more force than normal (but I don't have a lot of AL frame knives, use to Titanium which is less stiff). Still totally usable, just need to get use to it. Since it's less than 2.5" blade, it's legal in most states (and even cities like Chicago).
EDIT: I do want to say after having it for a while, if you are using the flipper tab, it is a *little* stiff. I had had better ganzo knifes which is concerning for the price. I still think it's very usable though with the flipper tab, just have to get use to it. That said, it works easy for flipping with your index finger / middle finger (which has grown to be my favorite way with this knife).

Knife is perfect size for me. Blue is beautiful on this knife. Small enough to easily edc but big enough for good ergos. Very sharp out of the box. Nice action. Only issue is it is difficult to close one handed because the lock detent is on strong side, coating is so smooth and there is no jimping on lock bar. It’s actually easier to operate left handed for me.

Torn opinion
I tried so hard to love the knife, I really did. The knife is a beautiful knife and has great ergo for gripping, but the detent of my particular knife is horrendous. Eight out of ten times it would halfheartedly flip out and dies half way opened. Maybe I just got unlucky and got the end of shitty quality control, but for all that I paid and the long wait, it was a kick in the nuts.

Arlenhuynh94Nobody likes a kick in the nuts. Sorry to hear that. Perhaps there's someone on youtube who can teach you how to reset the detent.

Slight disappointment
I waited to buy this knife after wanting one since the came out. I own a few of Voxnaes designs and I’m a fan.
That said their are a few things that disappointed me:
1. The grind is a little inconsistent. From the point to the curve on the frame side is different than the rest of the same side. On the other side the grind is noticeably thinner.
2. The frame lock is very difficult to disengage. The lock is much lower than the frame and it’s hard to get your thumb on it. Most frame locks I own the lock is milled slightly higher than the frame.
3.. The clip is very tight. It’s all most impossible to remove from a pocket of anything with thick pocket material.
I do really love the color and the overall design of the blade. It’s nice and light. The size is good for most daily tasks.

EconomanThe Spyderco Dragonfly has a similar pocket clip to this. You can try and remove the clip and then use some needle nose pliers to slightly bend the clip end on the screw side slightly out to adjust the tension.

EDC contender
This is a hardy little worker with great steel and almost perfect ergo’s for an edc knife. It’s also going to keep your coworkers pants deuce free when you break it out to use it.

I’ll give it the full 5 stars
It’s a really beautiful knife. I had absolutely no QC issues. Sharp out of the box. Even grind. Centered blade. Solid lock up. Aluminium frame lock is absolutely viable and I think this knife should last a very long time.

I was concerned that this knife would be to small for me. After getting it today, it is small, but works perfectly with my big hands. The scales are beautiful and the blade is very sharp out of the box. Very cool knife. I like it better than the Spyderco Slysz Techno 2. Usually with my size hands smaller flippers don't work well. The flipping action works perfectly and the detent is a work of art on this knife, very smooth. Two thumbs up, I love it!

- LOVE the color - when I received the knife, I was hoping the blue came out nicely ... and it was BETTER than I could hope for. It is better than the pics. The pics make the color look a little washed out (lighter). In MY opinion, it came out perfectly. In fact, if Drop did a dark red (M390) like this blue, I would DEFINITELY get it. When all is said and done, colors can be tricky ... Drop knocked this out of the park!
- It fits nicely in my hand ... I wear large sized gloves. It is most comfortable using the finger choil on the blade.
- The best way to open this knife is the coolest way to open it ... Securing it with the thumb and fore-finger and a little of the palm, it is fun flicking it open with the middle finger. It is almost effortless, as if this knife was designed to be opened primarily via this method.
- This knife is LIGHT ... but does NOT feel cheap. The blade is substantial and is ready to cut.
The not-so-great:- Flipper tab could be better. I have a Fox Knives Ziggy by Anso. In my opinion, this has got to be the BEST (not perfect) flipper tab. It is slightly angled like a birds beak, which makes a perfectly rounded surface to press to flip the knife open. To make it perfect, Anso could have added slight rounded jimping for those times when the finger is damp. The flipper tab on the suru is small and therefore any defined edges, although nicely rounded, do present hot spots when pressing to flip because the detent is a bit on the strong side. If this flipper were shaped like a birds beak like the ziggy, it would be excellent. I may eventually re-shape it in the future.
- Thumb holes are challenging to use due to the ergonomics of the knife. It is a small knife and uses a frame lock, so any pressure on the framelock will make opening the knife much more difficult. When using the thumb holes, there is no 'natural' way to hold the knife without putting pressure on the framelock, therefore making it very difficult to open the knife. However, with two other excellent ways to open the knife, the ONLY reason I would think it a necessity to use the thumb holes would be to open the knife quietly ... in that case, just use two hands or press the flipper tab while putting your thumb on the spine of the blade to prevent it from flying open and then use the thumb hole to open it the rest of the way.
- No left pocket carry. Jesper Voxnaes' designs (most, not all) have just struck a chord with me. I purchased his knives purely on design before I knew large companies collaborated with specific designers and that those designers worked with multiple companies. I just thought they were designed within the company. I actually had a few Vox designed knives from CRKT and Boker before I actually read about Jesper Voxnaes. However, I do not know WHY he does not show much love for left-sided pocket clips in his designs. I am right-handed, however, I often carry more than one knife and I put one in my left pocket and tip-up is my preference. The good thing is his detents are usually on the strong side, so no worry of knife partially opening up. My only guess is Vox avoids unnecessary design items and why have an unused pocket clip hole or slots when most people may not switch pocket clips. IDK ... just guessing. Maybe I may see it from his angle if I saw a Vox knife with both left/right pocket clip options and I would think it best to leave out the left pocket carry.
The bad:- none
IF Drop is 'listening' ... I would DEFINITELY buy this knife in red in the same 'formula' as this blue.
