Normally I'm not the biggest fan of D2 steel, but on this blade it makes real sense; this is a growling beast of a knife. CH produces unbelievable value with their G10 line, every one I have excels in fit (detent, lockup), comes very well machined and finished and half of them are very well designed too, including this one. I don't care for ball bearings (I replace them with stacks of washers) but for those who do, this one has multirow bearings, one steel and one ceramic. Ceramic detent ball, weight relieved liners, perfect 20% lockup like on all the others. I still prefer F-series Ganzos because of their more versatile steel of choice (440c), but otherwise, the CH G10's do blow away any and all competition in this price range.

Strong floral taste, absolutely not my thing. I had three tobacco flavours of this brand and they all tasted the same.

Average fruit flavor, don't use it myself.

Like most of the replacement NR-welded wires offered here, these are of excellent value. Seems a bit sturdier and consistent than the cheaper version.

Tastes like sirup to me but my better half likes it. She prefers peach or mixed fruit over this one though.
