I really wanted one, but lost the auction. Next time I'll use buy-it-now. I have a mini-ambush on the way, so the monochrome will have to wait until next time.

Someone got one recently and liked it pretty well, but the thread then migrated to an American made/foreign made debate.

Thanks Dog!! I'm thinking about picking one up off ebay as well, just wish it was a 1/2" bigger

I just recently almost bought one, there are really well built, a very solid frame lock and just have a really "slick" look to them...here is the bad news...they are a little to "slick" the handles are a really smooth polish, with no "grip" at all no checkering..nothing.

As I held it you could just feel it slipping around in your hand, I would hate to try to ever put any real force on this knife for fear of cutting myself.

I ended up buying an Ambush instead.

Todd, my thoughts exactly. It would be better if it were just a bit larger, otherwise it's a solid little folder.

I just bought one tonight. It was $40.00 at my local shop. I bought this as a back up to my 705.

I like it. I know that the US made debate is going to be run to death. I did see the Taiwan logo on the blade and thought about it for a second and then moved on to the purchase.

The lock looks...wimpy?
