Violin olivewood

A very good working knife, very sturdy and more substantial than pictures will make it seem. Even from video reviews, I imagined this as much more of a light-use gentleman's carry. In reality, it's actually really sturdy, and fills out the hand quite nicely and comfortably. The olivewood is absolutely gorgeous, and it has the loveliest smell to it. I only have two complaints, which aren't the biggest deal if you go into this expecting a working knife, but are very worth noting if you're just collecting. The first is that the action is a little awkward (puts up some more resistance in some places and less in others), so you'll need to be a little more careful on the close for this one, especially because it has a lot of pressure from the spring as it closes. The only other complaint is that there is a pretty substantial gap between the backspring and the right liner. I'm not really one to care about that kind of thing almost ever, but this is a pretty big gap. It doesn't affect performance at all, but it is worth noting if that kind of thing bothers you. Overall, it's a fantastic working knife. The only reason I took a star off is because of those two issues paired with the price. It's right on the edge of acceptable issues for a knife in this price range, but still well worth the money, in my opinion.
