I just noticed over my local shop website has stock.
I logged to get their special limited edition 531 with 20% off member Discount then found Amicus.
It looks a lot like a blend of 707 & 470 emissary, but it's a flipper.
I like alot & I'm torn between 531 & 490.

Tell us your opinion.
 
I can't wait to get the Amicus in hand, I think it may be the knife to finally knock my MiniGrip out of my pocket. Wish the clip wasn't so shiny.
 
I've held them at the shop. Very sleek knife. Flipper works great and is quite minimal. The assist blade was easy to close too. It wasn't for me but it's a really nice knife.
 
Mine arrived today, loving it. Bought it to compete for pocket time with my 477-1 and I can already tell it will. The only minor qualms I have with it thus far is the tiny flipper (it could be just a hair bigger), the clip that is a bit narrow for deep carry in jeans, and the color. Everybody has a couple black and silver knives, spice it up a little Benchmade. The color is also a positive though, because this is almost a gentleman's knife, very sleek and elegant. I would also note I like the blade shape a bit better than the Emissary, there is lots of belly to work with. Combined with the S90 steel this knife is a joy to cut with so far.
 
Sorry for the poor quality, I'm no photographer.

Thanks for posting. I've been eyeballing this one quite a bit. Part of me wishes it had a black blade.
