hmmm, I was expecting it to be significantly smaller than the PM2.

Almost the exact same size, the one thing you notice about the 801 is due to the pommel portion of the handle it reduces the amount of real estate for your hand. That is why I can't quite get a full four finger grip on it. Don't get me wrong it is still very comfortable though.
 
Hehe, I have tiny hands. I don't have to worry about that :D

The only knife I can't get a four finger grip is the Case Peanut. (I'm close though)

Not sure if these are helpful at all but here are some comparison pics. (PM 2, Blur, ZT 801, CS Lawman)

Oh, it looks sweet. I pre-ordered ages ago, but haven't heard anything yet. I'd sort of forgotten about it, but now I'm anxious again ;)

Can you get a 4 finger grip on the Blur?

I don't have gigantic hands so I'm thinking I won't have as much of an issue with it.
 
I kind of want one
I need to see more pics!
And first impressions
 
Passed one up today from NGK. Preorders a long time ago. #9 with a certain dealer. Can't wait! Wish I knew when. :(
 
Here you go folks:

Mine from BHQ will ship today! Did I say I really like full titanium scales!
 
Nice belch at the beginning of the video, Mario! You'd better cut back on the Italian food... :p

I saw a few dealers post that they had these today. It's exciting to see these getting out there.

Are there silver pocket clips available :o?

Plus silver/chrome screws including pivot. I think it'll do wonders for the aesthetics but then again it'd be nice to see one beforehand.
 
Well...the 0566 will have the same clip, but in a regular steel finish. When they start shipping, you could likely ask for one of those clips.

There is no silver hardware available right now, but it wouldn't take much to bead blast the hardware silver. I can't endorse this, but if one chose to ignore my advice, one could essentially remove the screws, stick them through a piece of cardboard to hold them, and bead blast them.

One could even theoretically turn polish the pivot hardware with a drill and some sandpaper. Not that I've ever done such a thing....

I have not handled the 801 yet, but the clip looks identical to the 810 Contego clip. If so, then you could swap it for a stainless Contego clip.

We designed the 0801 clip in-house, it's not an aftermarket part. It might be similar to the BM clip, but I can't guarantee that the hole spacing is the same as I've never handled one, much less measured it.
