Last weekend I picked up one at the Houston gun show.
This is the large plain edge Viele "wasp"
I'm sure it has been reviewed before but anyway,
I like this knife. It is shaving sharp right out the box. It passes the spine wack test.
Some folks say the handles have sharp edges and that the upswept rear of the knife can cause pain when cutting and applying pressure but I have not had any problems with this one.
I like the looks and the blade design.
Lock up is tight and secure.
The only thing I find lacking is that the clip is set too low on the handle so the knife rides high in the pocket.
As far as a dressier type of knife it is a good choice and at $65.00 out the door I think it is a good value like all of the CRKT products.
 
That is a great price. Do you have a name or website for the dealer? I would love to get one at that price.
 
He doesn't have a web site
Just a gun show dealer I found. Basically he was selling them at dealer cost! I have accounts with various wholesale distributors and the price all over is $64.95 plus shipping to the dealers. I don't where he gets them from but he can't be making more than $5.00 per knife at that price.
