This is a "Follow-Up" Review of the 1053w. I had critized the opening mechanism in my previous review. After at least 200 openings hoping for a "Break-in" and trying light gun grease mixed with light gun oil, I have found the knife now easier to operate. However, I wouldn't want to rely on it in dire circumstances. It simply isn't constantly reliable. All other aspects of the knife, in my opinion, are fabulous.

This is a good knife but not a great knife. Workman ship was less than expected. This knife is probably over priced by $10 to $20. The new "opening action" leaves a lot to be desired. The rating should be 2 1/2 stars.

Just received my Delegate Gentleman's knife today. I was a bit worried because of some of the review it received. I was pleasently surprised by it's flawless opening and closing action. Fit and finish is nearly flawless. Time will tell how it holds up but then again with the life time warranty if it does not hold up they will be fixing it.

I purchased the Delegate folder recently. The Knife was excellent except the release mechanism. It was extremely difficult to open with one hand. The push and release was not conducive to easy openning. I'd return the knife but I'll try to reform the release. I rate the whole knife 4. The opener 1.

Wonderful knife, except, "it is very difficult, if not impossible, to open the blade". So if you do not need to open it, you will really like it. Since "The user must know the secret rotating action to open the blade", there is no worry about using it, or hurting yourself with it. I do not want to return it, because it would be such a great knife if I could only open it.
Feels like the thumb stud might be just a little close to the hinge pin to make it useful, and there is no nail notch. Go figure. CRKT RESPONSE: It has FireSafe System. You have to push the Thumbstud down then out. Watch the video on how to operate at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZvsbj3oU3g

A beautiful and well constructed pocket knife. My only complaint is that because of its small size I cannot open it one-handed.

I saw this in my local knife store today, and instantly knew I wanted one. I've been waiting to get this knife for a long time, and I am very pleased so far.
If one thing's for sure, it's that the Delegate is one hell of a classy little knife. It is absolutely beautiful from any angle. The cocobolo scales on my model look fantastic, and their classic appearance is juxtaposed, yet harmonious, with the more modern G10 bolsters. The fitment of the scales and bolsters is excellent
