This mini is seriously a home run !! Built exceptionally well there is no blade play at all the liner lock functions flawlessly the action is super smooth and drop shutty even with such a small blade the ultra smooth 8 ceramic ball bearing inside make everything silky smooth. The blade shape lends itself to be great for utility and all everyday tasks . 14c28n is a fav in the community for itshigh strength fine grain structure, good edge retention and lemme tell ya it comes blazing sharp with a fine heat treatment and tenper done to it. I highly recommend this knife if your inn the market for a quality mini
