A very nice gentleman's folder
The Kaizen when folded and clipped into a shirt pocket can easily pass for a pen. And if you wish to show it off the design and material choices are quite visually interesting and attractive.
I find it enjoyable to fidget with as the blade can be deployed with forefinger in the standard flipper open or with thumb using the "lighter flick". Either way the blade will open smoothly and lock securely. And the small size makes one-handed closing easy.
The one thing which keeps me from giving the Kaizen a 5 star review is the standard straight back blade shape with the spine flush to the handle edge when closed. A couple of times my fingers have pressed onto the handles and been lightly pricked by the blade tip because the gap at the closed tip can let fingers squeeze in. It's a very nice design to have the spine flush with the handles but a drop point or clip point blade style could have been the safer choice. Not a deal breaker but I'm quite mindful that the tip can bite when closed.
Regardless, the Kaizen is a really nice knife and I appreciate and enjoy having it.

Kaizen knife
I noticed a small abrasion( scratch) on the blade. Otherwise all is well including smooth openning and closing.
