I sharpen mine at 20 degrees and it seems to match the original grind.

From the produuct description: "The stonewashed finish gives the blade’s surface a desirable roughened, scuffed, look and helps hide scratches, fingerprints and dirt. " Mine has been in my pocket constantly for a few years and looks exactly like new. I take reasonable care of my tools, in this case wiping the blade with a soft dry paper towel or tissue after each use or every couple of weeks if it hasn't been used (pockets are surprisingly linty places!). Wipe the blade, blow out the space between the handle slabs, and you're done. I expect this knife to look like new for many years . Just buy it, adjust the pivot tension to your preference with a torx bit (? a #6, if I remember) so that there is no blade play (slop, wiggle) when locked open and no tighter. I have never had to perform any maintenance beyond simple wipe down cleaning, BTW, I have larger hands (I take a Large or Xlarge glove, depending on the glove maker's designation) and I have a solid grip on tht Kershaw Link's handle in any one handed grip position. Buy it!

will it open fully easily with 1 flick? Many expensive models struggle with this.

I've bought one each for me, my son, and my son in law. It's sasy to open and close (oncr you get a little practice closi9ng it one-handed. Start SLOW and kepp your fingers out of the blade's path.). Even better, buy the Kershaw knife tool (cheap) and adjust the tension to your preference. I set it so there's no palpable blade play when open, and opening and closing is smooth and reliable. Just don't try to over tune it, get it to "good enough for my uses and stop fiddling. It is still the best value in one-hand usable super versitile pocket knives anywhere. And with a 100% lifetime guarantee on a 100% USA made product, it's one of a vanishing breed.

Only 30% of the liner is in contact with blade, is it by design? Is it safe to use? Why not 100% contact between liner and blade?

Liner locks are designed to wear over time, so as long as the knife is relatively new and the tang of the blade is firm against the lock when open, 30% is fine. Over time, the friction between the blade and the lock will cause the lock to settle in and when open, the lock bar will open wider and more of it will contact the blade tang. You wouldn't want that to be 100% out of the box because then the wear would eventually cause the lock bar to over-travel and not lock up solidly. In fact, any liner or frame lock knife that throws to a full 100% is probably worn out, and should have the lock bar insert replaced, or be outright retired if it doesn't have one.
