Thin is in!

Got this knife in the mail a couple hours ago. Here are my initial thoughts. Pro: Thin and pocketable Light weight for its size. Sharp right out of the box, but razor sharp after a few hits on the strop. All stainless construction with an overall nice finish. Con: Lock can be a little tough to manipulate if you have big hands. Finger area of handle not chamfered on the inside. A few sharp edges. I will ease the edges with diamond files. Stiff action that needs to be adjusted for smoother operation. I’m sure it will smooth up after use also. The pocket clip is the bulky part of this knife. Scales seem to me to be a bit thin. A few thousandths thicker scales wouldn’t have changed the weight by much but would have improved the overall feel. The big gripe I have is that this is a truly ambidextrous open and close knife. But why is the pocket clip not reversible for lefties? This seems like a major oversight by CRKT. There are few left hand friendly knives. But this could have easily been one had CRKT just put a way to mount the clip on the other side. Come on CRKT! This should have been a no brainer. All in all, this is actually a really good knife for the price.
