i really like this knife. it is very stout, the liner lock was darn near impossible to budge right out of the box, but it has become much more usable over time. the extremely thick ATS-34 blade (i believe some are 420) came razor sharp and although ive used it to cut cardboard boxes and styrofoam all day long, it will still pop hairs off my arm. as for the weight, i have carried a 110 in my pocket for years so it really wasnt an issue for me but it does come with a well made sheath if belt carry was an option. im not sure what a fella can get one for online, but i paid $110 at a gunshow for it and im very happy with it. excellent hard use folder.
