I've taken this knife apart many times and no rotors fell out of anything. It was just scales, liners, screws, backspacer, spring and lockbor, lanyard tube, blade and washers.
seriously I think he's just pulling our collective legs.
I'd just like a waved ZDP G-10 Endura. But they'd probably charge $400 for that.

Okay, I admit it. There are no teeny little rotors. I was just in a goofy mood. But since I've never seen the little rotors, I can't say for sure that there aren't any.

I can see the "I BELIEVE" UFO poster on your wall :-D

I have...but I returned with an empty sackP.S. -- Have you ever been snipe hunting?
I wish these guys hadn't screwed everything up, since you had me convinced that I really needed that G-10 version, instead of just the FRN. Dang it.

Actually, in all truth, I LOVE the FRN version! Don't sell those things short. They feel very nice in the hand, are a bit lighter and they're tough. On the other hand, at the prices these things go for, get 'em in both configurations! I don't know, there's something about the FRN that makes me want to just keep picking it up.
The only ones I don't like are the all stainless models.
These are the perfect "first" knives to get for people who may not be into knives.
All in all, I like the size of the Cara Ditto better than the Spyderco Native.

I have the FRN Cara Cara. It's very good.
Someone somewhere wrote that the Byrds are the best bang for the buck right now (was it here on Bladeforums?) -That could well be true.
I was very dubious about the Byrds before I read a review of the Cara Cara on www.cutleryscience.com and then got it. I was taken by surprise by how good it was. I also have the Crossbill with a G-10 handle and like it very much.
