Enzo Birk 75 Linerlock D2 BRI2511

Enzo Birk white micarta BR12511. Let me begin by saying that this is the nicest looking knife I’ve ever owned. The fit and finish is absolutely awesome! I own over 50 knives and this is the new standard. The product came well protected and was hair popping sharp. The blade is a true Scandinavia grind and there is no additional micro bevel. I do a lot of Busch craft and this grind is what you need. The scales have a slight crown to assist with the overall grip profile. I find this more comfortable than a flat scale. The liner lock is smooth and securely holds the blade in place. The D2 blade is 1/8 thick and has a flat back should you want to use a fero rod. The thumb studs are well out of the way for sharpening. The pocket clip is nice but it cannot be moved. The lanyard hole is 3/16 and in a nice position. You are able to fit 550 para cord. I have large hands but the knife just feels right. A lot of thought went into this knife like the small cutout to aces the locking mechanism and the placement of the thumb studs. I cannot recommend this knife enough. As a knife person there’s always that quest for their perfect knife. For me this is it. It’s the absolute best blending of an EDC and a Busch craft knife I have found.

Hair popping sharp out of the box. Fit and finish are as good as custom with zero up/down or side/side play. Very smooth opener with tight lockup. Polish is high on pocket clip with a brushed blade. A few minutes on an extra fine stone brings edge to mirror shine. Heat treat on the D2 appears to be correct with adequate edge retention but easy sharpening. Knife is very light weight for such a substantial blade.It will take a bit more time to determine if this is comfortable for normal daily use but I'm optimistic. Almost too large for a pocket knife but still within the realm of reason. It would make a reasonable skinner as well but would likely get slippery with the micarta scales. White micarta is ideal for a knife that will see time in the woods though. Stands out in the leaves much better than black or camouflage when dropped.$200 worth of knife for around $100. Would be nice if it were available as a lockback flipper but pretty darned nice as is.

One of the best knives ive bought. Does rust quickly though, so keep that in mind and dont let water sit on it. Very well done construction and sharp as HELL.
