My new favorite EDC
The Contender Aileron is a great knife. The stonewashed blade, with the cut out, is gorgeous. Mine came very sharp. The handle is very comfortable in the conventional or hammer grip. Opening was awkward when I was using my short, stubby thumb on top of the blade, but I quickly figured out that using my middle finger on the under side made it a breeze to open. Just get it started and a flick of the wrist sends the blade flying open with the super smooth ball bearing opening mechanism. This instantly became my favorite EDC.
