This knife had a good reputation as a "budget" knife, but I never expected to love it as much as I do! I've exclusively carried my Sachse since I got it a few weeks ago. Large and small Sebenzas, Spydercos and Benchmades (all of which I love) sit on my desk while I carry this folder. I carry it in the same pocket as my phone with no issue. It is the most fun knife to open and close that I've ever experienced. I usually prefer back locks and am not one to fidget much, but I find myself meditatively opening it and closing it throughout the day. The button lock was a little bit sticky at first, but it's broken in nicely. It was razor sharp out of the box and I've been impressed by the edge retention of the 9Cr; it gets regular use and I haven't had to sharpen it yet. I don't usually like coated blades, but it's holding up well and contributes to the aesthetic of the knife. The green micarta provides a nice grip and the pocket clip, which I've read complaints about, functions perfectly. It's clear why this knife won an award when it was released in 2022.It's hard to believe that you can get such a great knife for this price.
