Very pretty flame job Rickster! I'm just very glad this colab w/Spyderco and Marcin Slysz was ultimately chosen to be produced out of the Taichung Taiwan plant. They not only did Marcin's "Mouse Folder" justice but actually improved upon it with the excellent CTS-XHP steel and wire tip-up carry clip.
My favorite Spyderco's are from Taichung where they seem to excel at perfection at every point of assembly and finish. Like many others who try it, the Techno has become my favorite knife and I continue to be amazed at how good it really is. Ironically enough, I ordered it believing I'd probably flip it or only carry it occasionally and it has simply become, what I believe is the closest thing to my idea of the perfect EDC folder.
I'm truly grateful this knife has remained something of a sleeper, flying under the radar of most buyers/collectors as they dismiss it as being either too beefy or heavy, too small, too thick 4.5mm blade stock, etc...or else we would be paying PM2/Southard secondary mkt prices!
