The negative aspect it has is: With the way it locks or secures the blade when you open it, the blade has a little play, as we say colloquially, it doesn't lock firmly, it's not stable, it moves a bit and you have a slight feeling that's not as good compared to other knives like Opinel, Old Bear, Martins, which when their blade locks, it is stable and doesn't move at all. For the reason I mentioned above, I give it four stars and not lower because it is a nice knife, especially this one with the coating of the blade, and it's nice to have it in your collection.
