I purchased this for my wife specifically because it was on sale for nearly half the MSRP. I wanted something that required simple muscle memory and consistent deployment, and considering that it stays in her purse, it is a perfect solution for her to have something on her person. I tried carrying it for a day, and I found that the aggressive texturing gripped my jeans so much that I had difficulty deploying it, much more than my other benchmades and microtech.
As far as an OTF, it's fantastic, and I can't beat the price I paid for my wife, but it definitely isn't a knife I would personally carry.
