Beauty but Beastly
First of all I would say the Blade itself is a work of Art! Unfortunately she's a Beast to open with the stud. That is why I only gave it 3 stars. Bought it on sale so I don't feel so bad! Once open it fits well in your hand and is a wicked blade. Fits well closed in my jeans but won't be used as a everyday carry because of the opening issue.
Would recommend: No
Grab them while you can
My original purpose for this knife was to pair it with my orange obake in my collection, but I figured I should at least carry it for a couple of days. I was plesently surprised at how ergonomic it was both in pocket and in hand. The slim profile and shorter pocket clip keeps it out of the way in the pocket and the finger grove (for lack of a better term) provides a lot support when in hand (as opposed to not having it with the cousin designs). The only "fault" I found with this knife is that it has a little detent where the liner lock meets the blade and makes it so you have to open it in a more specific manner. This makes both the open and closed lock up stronger, but makes it slower to use, and in turn, not great for EDC in my opinion (I am not sure if this is a trait of the IKBS system or these just these set of knives). Overall, it is a fantastic addition to any collection.

- Appearance
- Ergonomics

Interesting
Gentleman's folder. Interesting blade shape, and design. Nice orange handles. Good looking stone-washed blade. I prefer the AUS8 steel to the typical 440 that Boker uses. Compact. Fits in pocket nicely. A little heavy for it's size (steel liners). Thumb plate is a too close to the handle which makes it difficult to use. Blade deployment is a little sticky, but may loosen with break-in. The price is fair for what you get.
