Key features discussed include the RJ Martin design, flipper tab for fast deployment, solid liner lock, narrow blade profile with a strong yet pointy tip, and excellent Kershaw serrations on the combo edge. The 8Cr13Mov steel is praised for its value, edge retention, and rust resistance. The reviewer notes the skeletonized liners, G10 scales, and Zytel back spacer, all contributing to the knife's trim profile and light weight. While the out-of-box sharpness and grind are critiqued, modifications are suggested. The reversible pocket clip is also a positive point.

The NSN version features a combo edge due to contract specifications. The reviewer concludes that while the knife is a quality automatic, its weight and bulk make it less suitable for frequent carry, especially compared to other available options.
