For a long time I have loved the look of the Enzo Birk 75 but I hated the fact that the scales did not fully cover the liners and so I never purchased one. I recent comment by Dennis at Brisa on one of the forums here had me take a second look and I pulled the trigger and purchased the lovely black G10 version in S30V with a Skandi grind.
It arrived yesterday and what a beautifully finished knife this is. The fit and finish is fantastic and I quickly removed the new deep carry pocket clip because I prefer the feel of the knife without it. The Birk is a frame lock folder and is about 10%-15% bigger than the PK70 (Although because of the angle I have taken the photo's at they look the same size).
This is what Dennis said about the new models:
"These changes have been made, due to feedback from version one.
-scales flush with the liners,
-clip placed for deep pocket carry,
-countersunk screws,
-opening liner changed for easier opening and closing.
Flat, chamfered scales in Black Carbon fiber or in Curly birch,
rounded scales in black G-10.
Black screws with black scales.
Nickel silver screws with curly birch."
And here's a few pics:
In hand shot
Solid Lockup
Spine shot
Perfectly centered
Nice smooth rounded end to the blade; no snagged pockets with this one!
Side by side with a PK70
Closed shot; note the sharp end of the blade on the PK70 by comparison
Side by side:
All in all a wonderful folder with an extremely high standard of finish. These can be purchased direct from Brisa:
