i finally manage to feel one of them and man are they awesome. great feel and blade shape the works anyway i ordered the smaller one to hang my keychain. anyway for those that have the lus is the smaller one really that much harder to handle as some say? also how effective is the blade to corrosion coz i live in a tropical humid urban city, singapore. and for those that have both sizes is the difference in length big or small, also regarding this do both the sizes have the same thickness? coz if they do then ill be buying the bigger one since itll be kinda funny if the small knife is so thick... thanks folks for helping...

I have carried the large LUS on and off for about a year, and while I have had rusting problems with other CRKT's, this one has never given me any.

I like the "frost" finish on the Urban Shark. It has a nice satin sheen and is not prone to having moisture trapped like bead blasted blades, however, I always maintain my blades, so rust is never a problem.

I maintained mine also, I use white lightning and for some bizarre reason both me CRKT 16-04 and Kasper/Crawford both blades would spot up within a matter of hours. Then again the LUS never once should the least little signs of rust. I think they may use different steels for these knives and that might have something to do with it. I hated giving up carrying the 16-04, cause it is one hell of a knife.
