Squail

Superb finish

The knife is well made, with very good fit and finish.
Everything lines up well, blade is centered and has no recognizable play and the micarta scales is blended well to the frame. And, contrary to product photos, the handle comes predrilled for either tip-up or tip-down carry.
The blade comes sharp out of the box with a nice finish. Too early to tell how well it holds an edge, but 440C should be pretty good for my uses. And, alot cheaper than the VG10 version!
Action is smooth, with a distinct click upon locking of the blade.
And, speaking of the linerlock, while it locks very well, it is kind of hard to unlock, caused by it both being very stiff, and flush with the frame. I imagine it will be hard to unlock with cold fingers, and it's the only reason I didn't give the knife a 10 rating.
All in all, a beautifull, sturdy and well made knife with classic lines.
