Just some first impressions and some comparisons.
It's a very thin design handle-wise, ~0.5-0.7 mm thicker than a Caly 3. Carry is nearly unoticeable due to slimness and low weight, and the clip places the knife with about 1.2 cm exposed. Additionally, the clip seems to prevent over-bending of the framelock only in tip-down position.
The handle is held together by three T-8 small-head screws, two through hour-glass spacers, and the last for the pivot (all are interchangeable). The clip is held on by T-6 screws.
Blade is similarly thin - for those looking for a mid-sized Military replacement, this isn't it. The tip is thin and the blade is thin. For cutting applications it excels and for my purposes it is near-perfect. The edge is essentially flat (spine goes up, then changes angle downwards to the tip) with a little curve near the very last cm of the blade.
Ergonomics are almost suprisingly superb - if it weren't for Spyderco and simple practicality stemming from the original design - the boxy shape would fill me with anxiety. Handle has a kind of off-center hourglass shape profile-wise to prevent the hand sliding back or forth. There is a slight amount of jimping for the index finger on a small half-choil in case you need to choke up. The angled, long ramp on the back of the blade is great for your thumb, either flat along the spine or just with the thumbpad. Definitely not a "tactical knife" but anyone who buys it should know that already. Has a very mild negative angle orientation, so a bit easier to use in some circumstances vs the Miltary/Para-Millie/Lum Chinese.
Fit and finish is quite remarkable. After a fairly quick, but thorough inspection, all the edges are nicely chamfered and lock-up is quite solid. About the ONLY nitpick I have is that on the flat-grind, it looks like one side was ground at a higher angle than the other - however, this could just be an illusion and may not even apply to the whole blade, as I can only notice it where the FFG begins.
So basically, Spyderco-wise kind of similar to the J.D. Smith with a very cool, unique, and eminently practical design from the Chokwe tribe. If you like FFG thin blades, slim handle, food-prep, etc... this is a good choice.
