I got mine. She's a Beauty. Stupid Sharp is an understatement. It's so stupid sharp I think the autonomic nervous system is non-functional. Thanks Ban.

Just opened the package.
AWESOME!
You nailed it for me Ban, the handle feels much more hand-filling and secure while retaining the compactness you want in a knife like this :thumbup: Feels solid and comfortable in both hammer-edge-in and icepick-edge-in grips. The integral guard feels quite a bit better for me, safer. The ricasso is the PERFECT length for me; I don't worry about the edges of fist contacting the edge in either grip. I like the cant of the blade, perfect positioning of the tip with a locked wrist (in my limited experience). The tip looks nicely pointy and thickens "just right". And I agree with squishware: stupid sharp is an understatement. Not that I'm surprised Not surprised by your excellent fit and finish either. And of course, I'm loving the black canvas micarta 
:thumbup:
I'll probably want to add more on it later, but just got home from a long day at work...time to eat and relax for a bit before bed... I'll definitely snap pics later :thumbup:
