Simple Edc : Becareful with Vic.. it snaps !

it has no locks, blades snap open and close, i just get my middle finger bleeding due to sheepfoot blade of by Vic Electrician snapped close instantly once it passes halfway closing. it really should be 2 hands opening/closing operation.

Simple Edc : Kershaw Overdrive 2, after a week review

It is small, light, pointy, sharp, little bit tight at first arrival (loosen up with smallest hex allen key i have), flipper action is nice, the flipper button remind me of old camera self timer (on leaf shutter), i dropped several times and found no scratch on the scales.

On the negative sides:
- flipper button scratches other stuff i put on my pocket (phone, etc)
- pointy tip stub my finger several times
- no jimping, minimal grip only by the scales
- the scale use t5 metric allen key, the pivot use (i forget) the smallest hex allen key, it is differently annoying
- the clip is dam* tight, need some bending to soften up
- the metal of the knife is "thick", maybe 3mm (?)
- the scales are thick as it should have hollow area for flipper mechanism,

i'm confuse whether i like it or not, i prefer knife that sit together safely in my pocket, i hate that flipper button so much, it screw up the feeling when you found your phone screen got scratches when they are together. i have no problem with the metal aloy, but it's lightness giving me impression i'm handling a toy, not a real knife.
change the flipper with thumb stud and i'll bring it everywhere !
