Is this a cool knife, or what? I know, I'm probably late jumping on the Switchback bandwagon, but I just picked one up last night. Scalpel sharp S30V main blade. Did I mention that warncliffe type blades are just way cool? The little utility 440C blade is cool too. I checked over and over, and cannot find anything to grip about. I see zero blade play, all grinds are perfect, etc... This is just a top quality factory folder. :)
 
Danbo, just got my first one in a trade a couple of weeks ago, and yes I like the little sucker. I've been reading for about a year or two how BM supposedly screwed it up with the 440c smaller blade, but I think its kinda neat and its the first production blade I've been carrying in a quite awhile.
 
I am a big fan of the switchback, and carry it a lot. It's a grat idea to add another little blad. I'm kind of surprised that it didn't catch on in other models.
 
I tell ya, if the main blade was a hair shorter(I can't bring a knife with a blade longer than 3" into the Govt building where I work), I'd be carrying this knife as an EDC.
 
I carry my 921 as strictly a "gent's" knife. It's just too slick for heavy use.
 
"Slick" is a good word. Nice knife, but I have a thing about shiny/slippery handles.

My son has one and I've handled it a lot. He doesn't seem too interested in it any more, so I may end up getting it for myself in a trade. Now, what to trade . . . .
