Now to give some background, before this knife, I absolutely hated folders. I never liked liner locking mechanisms and other mechanisms offered failed to impress me.I laughed at the idea of self defense folders. This knife is something else though, regardless of the hype Cold Steel gives the Triad lock, it really is incredible and this knife is a prime example. I like the compact size and the grippy G10 handles, the finger grooves also fit my hand nicely. Another aspect I love is the 2 and a half inch blade, which makes it legal to carry almost everywhere. I carry this knife for self defense, no knife in this price range or size can hold a candle to the Triad lock. Absolutely rock solid lockup and zero blade play up/down or left/right. Other people view this as too small for self defense, but Cold Steel markets this as a self defense blade for LE's and they hit a home run with the Mini Lawman. This is the only folder I will ever trust in a self defense role. This knife, although small, will tackle the most harshest of tasks. Amazing.
