Kershaw Intellect Folding Knife w/SpeedSafe

A fine blade good for cutting a steak or whittling a gig. Awesome

Received this a few days ago and overall I'm really happy with it. It's dense and heavy and feels great in the hand despite being a very small knife. The pivot tension was very tight at first which made it a bit difficult to flip open, but with no adjustment it's gotten easier over the past few days and feels very natural and fluid now. Folded, it's so small it fits all the way into the coin pocket of my jeans, so it's much more out of the way and doesn't compromise my reach into the larger pocket like my old knife that it's replacing. Open, it's large enough to be useful without being cumbersome or attracting undue attention. The style is elegant and conservative, and the satin polish on the blade really appeals to me. It carries easily, and I really appreciate how comfortably it stays in the pocket, tip up and protected from opening. As others have mentioned, the frame lock is pretty tight. I can release it with one hand with some effort, but it would have been nice to have a bit more of an edge to push on, even just a millimeter beyond the edge of the other handle scale. The attachment of the clip to the back of the knife could have been a bit better designed as well; they didn't provide a recess in the handle for it so it often gets in the way and snags the seam of the pocket. My gripes are pretty minor however. I look forward to having this knife on my person for years to come.
