I've been carrying mine for a week now, and untied the lanyard to make it longer, and installed a Seb. pocket clip to make it easier to get it into my pocket... I felt both were improvements. It is still not as easy to open as I like, and I miss my UM or LG Seb as an EDC. I do like the blade shape, and think due to the small handle size would make a better dress knife, although since I don't "dress up" often, that will limit my usage. I took it to the range and it did draw an interested crowd..... Bart
