I have one gave it to my wife to keep in purse,she uses it in situations were her pink pm 2 might scare people around her,materials and workmanship are outstanding,it is an integral,but it is not worth the price 120.00 would be more realistic.

VbmooreUhm, I think that's a bit unrealistic. Please show me any anodized integral Ti frame lock with an M390 blade for anywhere near the $120 price that you say is realistic.

VbmooreYou’re right,I misspoke having owned and tried too use this knife and having rethought my position on this knife,I wouldn’t pay anything for this knife.it is beautiful with some fine milling an excellent knife in a artsy sort of way but quite useless as an EDC .
in simpler terms kinda like the teets on boar. My opinion.

VbmooreUnfortunately for myself, I prefer my EDC's to be under 2.5". I don't use it for any heavy duty tasks. 90%+ is for opening boxes. I've had an affinity for small flippers for a longtime. I developed this affinity for tiny flippers 15 years ago (it may be 16 years ago. I don't remember the year I bought it but the assembly date on the knife days May 2003, so there's no way it's 16 yet, unless that is a "sell before" date, haha). I randomly bought a rainbow colored Kershaw Chive and I still have it, hahaha. Since then, small blade flippers have been my preference. Designing, assembling & production is a bit more difficult for these small knives compared to a 4" blade. Weight, ergonomics & action is significantly a bit more difficult as well. Because I don't use it for anything heavy-duty, appearance has it's value for me. Yes, it's quite superficial I'm not proud of saying this, but good looks go a long way for me, lol.
All of that being said, this is one of the fewer and fewer drops that is a very good price. I don't recall ever seeing one online listed below $260. Yes, I wish it was cheaper than the $200 pricetag, but I don't know of any other integral flipper that I can buy for this price. That is why I've bought one on Massdrop twice (one is gold & green, they other is blue & purple). Truthfully, it's a great little knife but I do think it should be a little bit cheaper. Unfortunately, all of the integral Ti flippers I can think of are pretty expensive.

Vbmoore I totally understand your viewpoint and respect it,I’m a small stature man5’7 with little b*tch hands so I definitely lean too small.i have kettlebell 1.9,lauch4 1.9.humminbird&the rike.
All my fav edc knifes lean towards small,massdrop falcon,gent,terzouola compact tactical folder,booze blade smoke,protech brend.i think all of these are under 3.3”.good thing is there is a knife for everyone’s personal taste.Peace

DrBlazerNot sure if they’re still available ( I got mine from their Kickstarter project) but the Bastion Braza Mini Bro D2 folder is a fun little flipper and only costs about $40US.
