Im hesitant as well. I read elsewhere that this guy was disappointed with the small size. I kinda want to see one in person first i think before i order one.
I'm a bit perplexed by people who are disappointed with the size - did they not read the specs? Says 2.5" blade, 3.5" handle, and that's what it is. In terms of cutting edge length, you are giving away very little in comparison to most of the 3" spydercos - no more than 1/4" in comparison to a sage or delica. It also feels much more beefier and robust than any other small spyderco I've handled, including the salsa (haven't handled a leafstorm). Clearly what it doesn't have is as much handle length as most small spydercos. I don't mind that, but others may have issues. Most people will just about be able to get 4 fingers on it, but if you prefer not to have the 1st finger too close to the edge, then you are looking at a 3 or 3.5 finger grip. A well-constructed lanyard can also do wonders for the grip on a small knife.
