I've been seriously considering this guy. Anyone have one or have any thoughts on it?

I handled both the large and small versions in gray/black at the last gun show. Even with my small hands, I like the large one best.

My first impression was that the knife was VERY thin. I only flipped it a few times, but it seemed to have a nice action. The two I handled didn't have super fast actions, but didn't require wrist action. Even though it's a bit 'tactical' and funky looking, I think it would make for a nice gentlemen type folder.

Fit and finish was good, although I didn't spend a lot of time checking them out - too many other knives to look at!

Not sure if that helps, but thought I'd chime in with my limited exposure.

This too:

I got one and it's a great knife, but the pocket clip isn't that great, and it's only tip down carry. Other then the clip I really like the knife. You barely notice it's in your pocket becaue it's so thin, if you get one, you will not be disapointed.
 
Here's a thread with some good info in it and pics too.

To summarized, it is the smoothest folder I have ever experienced. It is well made but with some sharp edges/corners. It is quite slender and fits in the pocket nicely. A very impressive first Onion for CRKT.
