I’ve looked at this thing for a while but only recently got one in my hands, and it doesn’t disappoint! This is a great little compact EDC titanium framelock on washers with a beautiful S35VN spearpoint blade, thumb disc, and micarta inlays. The detent is crisp and the action is smooth right out of the box, unlike some other popular washer knives… Ergonomics are excellent, which is generally the case with Poltergeist Works designs. It fits even my large hands great for such a small knife.
As for negatives, I will say that I don’t care for the pivot and backspacer hardware. It uses two strange screw sets that are hex on one side, and flathead on the other. The flathead side’s tooling is shallow, and that side does not also have hex tooling despite still having a hole in it. My Delta 2600 arrived with the pivot loctited, which required me to heat the pivot with a soldering iron before I could even try to break it look for disassembly. The body screw by comparison was super easy to remove. The clip, steel lockbar insert, and titanium thumb disc are all attached with standard Torx T6 bits.
Overall, I’m very happy I finally got to try one!
