This is the first one I've had, and I'm quite impressed with it. Some people get picky about blade steel and smooth bearings, but I've been carrying fixed blades and slip joints and haven't had a new modern folder for about 15 years, so it's way smoother and better quality than the flipper knife I had back then. The Elementum model is quite popular and has linerlock and button lock versions and an impressive number of handle options.
