I'm considering picking one up. I usually prefer larger blades, but I like the looks of it. I'd like to see a review first though. If isn't pretty slim I'll probably pass.

I got mine Monday. It came razor sharp. It really is one small tough knife. The action is a little stiff especially in closing. I wouldn't mind a large version as well. I carry this when I need to deliver in NYC.

Just got one in the mail yesterday. I really like this little guy!
It comes extremely sharp right out of the box (shaving sharp).
I like the large handle to blade ratio it has and its a full wharncliffe which makes it nice for chores that require
"exacto blade" geometry. Despite it's slightly positive blade angle it slices very well but what it really does in superb fashion is push cut. With your thumb
on the jimping behind the blade it'll go through just about anything you would want to push a blade through.
The clip is nice and tight and seems to hold very well even when placed in slacks. The Jimping seems more
decorative than anything else but it sure does look purdy! The one thing you will really dig on this mini bad boy is the Tri-Ad lock.
What a satisfying "snap" when it locks open! If you can get yours to "flip" open or easily gravity drop be sure to post a video. The spring tension behind the
Tri-Ad lock mechanism is pretty stout. Overall a very solid little blade, i would highly recommend getting one.
I paid around $20 but a good deal at twice the price in my humble opinion.

^ that is not my hand.
I got one. I like it, but unlike others in this thread (and uncharacteristically for Cold Steel), mine was not shaving sharp out of the box. But it was easy to make that way, so no big deal. Nice light knife that's easy to carry but has that secure Tri-Ad lock. For about $20, it's hard to go wrong with it.
