just arrived so no long term test data BUT I will say that it is certainly the sharpest production knife (out of the box) that I have ever bought!

Looks like a nice blade profile..... should be easy to maintain with a good stone and a good piece of leather.

Nice knife.

I like especially the tip-up pocket clip.  That is the orientation of the point is "up" when in the pocket.   I prefer for a faster draw.
