I ordered this knife after having been very pleased with the Maroon version of it. I hesitated a bit with the buy, because I thought it's very expensive for a version that seems somewhat more plain and boring than the fancy yet low-priced Maroon version. Now that I've got it, I have to say this is worth every cent: it is a sublime and subtle knife, engineered with utmost precision out of premium materials, optimized for light weight and compactness. Just opening and closing it is a pleasure already. Now the maroon version seems almost plump in comparison. This titanium version feels like something from the distant future to me. I can barely put into words how highly I think of this knife. The designer must've made a pact with the devil to come up with something this close to perfection. I almost wanted to not write this review and instead secretly buy up the remaining stock of this limited edition, hoarding it like a dragon. But happiness is best shared, they say!
