I hear almost nothing about this one. It’s a really good looking knife and cool to see a spydie hole on a triad lock. Anyone have any experience with this model?
 
I had one. It was the Goldeneye. Very nice knife. I'm surprised it's not more popular. Real carbon fiber, S35VN. I like the ergos, with the exception of the thumb ramp. For me, it's awkwardly placed and just plain uncomfortable to use. I removed the thumb ramp (had to buy a tiny allen wrench set) and problem solved. Once they get near $100, I'd get one if I were you.

I have one, as well as a GoldenEye Elite. Prefer the silver to the gold. Like hermit dave, surprised they weren't more popular. Unlike dave, I find the thumb ramp placement to be comfortable. I used to carry the Grik, which is smaller, and found it's placement to be more awkward.

I wonder if they will get near that level ever. The deal you are talking about is a great one.

Good to hear!
 
I also have a Goldeneye. I like the knife. I don't carry it often, because it's been discontinued and will be hard to replace. The handle is very flat so it carries well in the pocket. I personally like the ergonomics.
 
To those that have tried them: is it thick behind the edge? No hollow grind, right?

Mine is flat. My Code 4 is very shallow hollow, so can see thinking they're the same just by looking at them.

Ah dang I appreciate it. I like the hollow grind on the thicker stocks so that’s too bad. Yea the code 4 still has some meat behind the edge.
 
Closest I got is the "Grey Plastic Eye" (i.e. Grik)







It opens real nice but you can't cut thru with the blade without hitting the raised area of the eye .
