This is an extremely well made knife with excellent fit and finish. The only issue I had with mine is that it's a little scratchy when you open the blade. This is due to the lettering on the blade near the pivot. I carefully took a stone to the "Taichung, Taiwan" lettering and now it's perfectly smooth. I'm sure that would smooth out over time otherwise. Fantastic knife all the way around and the Raffir Noble looks great to me. (Recently learned about the lettering on Bladeforums.)
This knife is significantly smaller in the hand than the Native 5 or the Sage. It's usable with the finger choil, but it doesn't fill your hand like the other two. IMO the whole point of this knife is that it's smaller with a very thin blade. I use mine for EDC to the office where pulling out a larger knife could be a problem. If you prefer larger handle I wouldn't get the Chap.
Having said that, I enjoy mine for a discreet, light carry when I don't wish to draw attention to a blade. It's quality knife and will draw some oohs and ahhs from a wide audience.
I am intrigued by this sample, but I'm torn on the scales--maybe a bit too tacticool. I'll have to think on it.
Yikes! Forgive the nails. I need a trim.
