Pros:

Solid build quality and smooth automatic opening
D2 steel offers good potential edge retention
(though hard to judge fully due to sharpening difficulty)
Comfortable G10 handle
Not overly heavy for an automatic knife
Tanto blade performs well for piercing tasks (e.g. cardboard)
Aesthetic stone-wash finish (despite scratching, performance remains unaffected)
Great value for the features at this price point

Cons:
Blade wasn’t very sharp out of the box; D2 steel can be challenging to sharpen properly
Might not fit comfortably in larger hands (subjective based on hand size)
Blade thickness near the tip can cause some drag when cutting certain materials
Finish can scratch easily with harder use (only affects looks, not function)

Conclusion: I like it so far, pretty decent auto knife in this price range.
