Pros: Great blade shape and steel, beautiful light scales, and though I don't normally like assisted it really works in this format by only requiring a wee-bit flipper tab
Cons: Worst pocket clip in the world - when you go to tip-up, over 1/3rd of the knife is sticking out and moving around started to work it loose from the pocket - with an aftermarket deep carry clip it is great now. Also, when I did move the clip to tip up, it killed the centering of the blade (and remained unrecoverable) - one more reason the assist worked was because I had to tighten the pivot pretty seriously to get the blade off the show side of the inner liner.
Overall a good design, materials, and total carrying experience. This just wasn't the best Kershaw production from my many Kershaws.
