Passing them on...
I ordered this knife for my self years ago, Its always been a great EDC. Both my daughter and son take turns carrying Dads knife and understand that a knife is just a tool. Lately the kids have it more than I do, its time to gift them there own so Dad can have his knife back. Great EDC and holds up very well after years if use.

Great knife
Overall, the knife has been great!! Very sharp upon delivery and holds the edge very well. The opening/closing action is consistently very smooth and light despite heavy use. My one and only complaint, and I'm sure this is just mine, there's a small strip of plastic next to the locking mechanism that is pulling away from the frame of the knife. Doesn't effect the function of the knife but my thumb catches it every now and then when unlocking the blade

Nero knife
Bought this for my Father. He recently skinned an elk for the first time using this knife. He loves it and carries it with him wherever he goes.

Quality knife
This is one of their least expensive folding knives. And keeps a very sharp edge

NERO
This knifes adjectives include elegant and sleek. It is well made. I am partial to D2 steel blades and this is a good one, sharp and holds an edge. Not all D2 is the same. I have an American made D2 blade that I love and a Chinese made blade that claims to be D2 that is unimpressive. The NERO is well done. I like the blade shape, the tip is great for minor surgical procedures like extracting thorns and slivers or puncturing surface abscess infection etc. This knife is more suited to edc in an office than edc on the homestead. Well worth the price.

Still at the Top of the Rotation
I bought a Nero a few years ago and absolutely love it! I've purchased other knives since then seeing if something else might kick this off the top of my EDC rotation. I got close, but this has everything I want for my EDC blade. Quick and smooth deployment, perfect texture on the grip, a sweet blade, and the red liner is just the icing on the cake. You really want this knife. Git it while you can.

Clean Design
Been carrying this as my EDC knife for the past month. The size and weight of this knife are perfect for a pair of jeans, and the action is incredibly smooth; I've gotten multiple compliments on how easily it opens. The knife was fairly sharp out of the box, but lost its edge pretty quickly, but that's to be expected. My only real complaint is that the finishing on both the blade and the handle are already a little scratched, even though I haven't used it that hard. It is an EDC knife, so it's not like I was expecting it to stay pretty, but I thought the finishing would've lasted a little longer. That being said, I think overall it's good quality for a good price, and I haven't found an EDC knife with a cleaner design.

Decent Knife
It's a nice knife. I just wish the clip was a little tighter. It falls out of my pocket pretty easily.
-
Great knife!
This knife is fantastic. Arrived sharp, opens smooth, etc. Comparing against my Buck "Sprint" knife, this knife is heavier, and a little bit harder to open, but it's still a solid choice of knife.

Great product
The Nero is a great knife. I really like how sleek it is. The pivot is smoother than butter. This is one of my favorite EDC knives.
