You open it with a front flipper tab that sticks out of the spine side of the handle, and the blade runs on caged ceramic ball bearings. The blue Micarta version is the brighter of the two Micarta options. Micarta tends to darken a little and get smoother where your hand rests, so each one ages a bit differently. The clip is reversible for left or right pocket carry.
