Great knife - Hogue HK Exemplar Pivot Lock Folding Knife

Bought this item on sale for my first Hogue knife to be added to my collection. The only thing I would change is the ergonomics of the handle for my hand in particular but that does not detract from the quality of the knife itself. Out of the box the knife is beautifully sharp and ready to go. The locking mechanism is easy to use and allows for smooth, rapid deployment of the knife if necessary. I carry the knife as my new every day knife and it fits comfortably and securely in my pocket despite being larger than my previous EDC knife. The pocket clip is sturdy without being difficult to remove from the pocket. All around the knife is amazing for the sale price and I would definitely recommend it.
