I've got one ... I'd seen it at the Blade Show and couldn't wait for it to hit the open market!
It is a very solid knife, smooth as silk ... it almost feels like something is missing, it opens so effortlessly
The blade is beautiful, actually a very old, conservative design, quite sharp out of the box, but I put an even finer edge on it, then beat on it to see what it would take to dull it. It holds the edge through vegetables, weeds, and whittling very nicely. The handle is thick, a real handful, fortunately. My paw is too broad for a slim grip. Good clip: it sits securely in my pocket, and is easy to draw and open. You can "wave" it like an Emerson or flick it by the guard like a DDR flipper. I almost considered removing the thumbstud, but that's well-designed, too, and very comfortable.
Need I say, I really, really like the knife!?
