What do you want to know about it? Seriously, I've had 3 different ones (I still have one). Odd blade design, but I think it's useful & sturdy. Lately, I keep it in my detachable sheath of my B/M 156 CSK. It's a great folder for camping. Kind of a "do all" folder.
Personally, I've had no problems with Spyderco's liner locks. While I prefer tip-up carry, I like that you can have a choice (For righties or lefties, although the liner-lock makes it a "little" tougher for lefties). It opens quickly & smoothly, is comfortable in my XXL hands & of course, VG-10 is a great steel (Holds an edge for a reasonably long time while being relatively easy to sharpen, too). Spyderco's G-10 is great, as usual (Not too rough, but grippy enough).
I like the flat grind tip (That's not going to break) & the hollow grind main edge.
Right now, it's my favorite Spyderco. The only other Spydie that I really want is a Sage. Of course, this is all just my opinion.
Check it out, it's a nice knife.

Got one last weekend at a local gun show, mainly due to its strange blade design.
Another quirky Spyderco - the whole blade is just one big edge.
My Captain was very sharp out of the box, and even sharper after a few passes on my Sharpmaker. Damn thing cuts like a razor.
Strongly constructed, VERY secure lockup, thick liners, G10 scales. Not too big or heavy in the pocket, not too small or light in the hand.
I think as long as you dont need to stab something, the Captain would be useful for both everyday cutting tasks and defensive needs.
