Initially was exposed to the brand (And assisted opening!) at Lowes....Own a Twitch II, a FlashII, and the new XL slim jim...(Stamped steel body felt like a box cutter to me at first, but waaay cool! I would like the coil from my Flash in it instead of the somewhat "wimpy" straight back spring, though!) Reasonably priced, they work hard, and are fun to play with...Big fan!
