I'd have to handle one. Although not traditional, I don't mind the option for a clip. As far as design is concerned, I think it looks better than the BMs, but still kinda bland. The size I think it's cool, it's between small and large Sebenza, and in my CRK lusts I've wished for an in between size Sebenza. But I'm not going to pay that price tag for this knife, and I agree that the blade over 3", while is fine for places that have a 3.5" restriction, is on the larger end for slip joints, and is a limiting factor for a lot of people in that regard.
Why not an Mnandi sized slip joint to go with it? That knife is halfway to traditional as it is, and a really fine looker with GREAT cutting profile.
