Solarstorm
This is a great all-round daily carry with a couple caveats. First, jimping on the flipper tab seems misplaced. This is definitely not made for push-button open, so jimping on top of the tab doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Second, the edge of the lanyard hole cutout can be felt when opening. It's not sharp but is still a little pokey. Just for the sake of aesthetics I'd like to see the two half-circle cutouts in the show side inlay go away. That would probably necessitate a redesign of the inlay shape given the placement of the body screws. Finally, the torx head pivot on the show side seems wrong for the milled faux bolster. I would also prefer a non-spinning pivot. Finally, the balance is good and the forward position using the finger choil feels very comfortable. This is a fine knife, but a few little tweaks could make it better.

I never thought I would buy a knife made in China.
I never thought I would buy a knife made in China. This knife has changed that. Well made and smooth opening. The Ochs design is sleek and functional. This knife immediately went into my EDC line up.
