15V can take more abuse than I thought it could. It's not S35VN, but I usually only use my knives for knife stuff (so almost everything).
This blade always centers right up every time I reassemble. Never any play after use, snappy as all heck. Drrrrrop shut all day, even when I get gunk in the action. It's a plunge lock that doesn't feel like a plunge lock. It's a joy to use, even with the behind the edge thickness being a bit high.
About 8 months ago I was cleaning my TR3 Integrity and like a momo, I lost the spring. It flew into an alternate universe and was not to be found again. I tried for weeks, looking high and low. Eventually we cleaned and re organized that room, and I was certain it was gone. Giving up on finding it, I of course ordered a new spring. But before I got the spring, I put the knife away in a pouch in my box. I forgot about it, didn't replace the spring. Yesterday, I was organizing my tool bag and I took out my mag strip....THERE IT WAS! On the mag strip. Idk how it got there because I lost it upstairs and my bag is downstairs. I have a cat...and perhaps she batted it down there. But I still don't know how it would have made it into my bag.
Im almost more excited than I'd be if I bought a new knife. I love this thing. Snappy, solid lock up. Centered perfectly 1st time. It's drop shut glorious to boot. Best button plunge lock I've ever owned. Period.
I find this leaf Shape blade profile to be the most useful for any number of cutting or slicing tasks I do day to day. Bar none. Utility, slicing, precision work, light carving....it does it all exceptionally well.
What blade shape do you prefer or find most useful?
Needed a LW model in the collection. I got the right one. For me personally it fits my hands like a glove. A sharp, pointy glove. The factory edge was amazing on this puppy.
It's pretty much everything I wanted it to be!! So happy!!!
It's a great smaller folder. Good action, no play. Solid construction and of course the button liner lock.
