I haven't sadly. I bet it does feel smaller than 3.7 inches since it seems a bit slimmer. I'm just so used to carrying a small Sebenza or maybe a skyline that I really do think it'd feel huge to me.

If that is your edc you are probably right.
I got mine.
So far there is only one thing I don't like about it- the way the abrupt angle on the frame cut for the lock meets the apex of the pocket clip. Makes it hard to get out of your pocket. (Although, it's also not going to fall out either, so depending on your POV it could be a good thing.) With a small radius there it would be perfect.
That's my only complaint. Very handsome knife; the carbon fiber scale is really nicely done. Looks much better in hand than it does in pics. Also feels great.
There is an extremely minor finish flaw on the pocket clip at the top of one of them as well. It could be factory grime, I haven't cleaned it off yet.
I'm going to be playing with this one for a while. Really incredible knife for sub $200.
I think I'm especially happy with it because of the price. If it was $600, I'd still like it a lot but I would expect a lot out of it from the beginning.
Also always love tritium vials in anything.
Forgot to mention: They come in a nice soft case with a microfiber cloth. Not that I'll ever use it for anything, but it's nicer than a box.

Can you say "colossal hypocrite"? Who should apply the Vagisil now, funny guy. Enjoy your knife, dude. I sure enjoy mine, my second Daboia that is. It's flawless.

LOL
All the posts are still right there for everyone to read, everyone can see who pitched a rude and completely inappropriate fit & whined.
I just pointed out that the brilliant drooplip trying to get double plus on a widely available, currently in full production Chinese folder was delusional. It's $200 because it's made in China. Because it feels like a more expensive knife doesn't make it one. I wouldn't buy a $600 Chinese knife. Or a $450 one when I can order an identical new one for $200, and neither would anyone with a head. Even an empty one.
And you didn't sell it, as I predicted. You pulled the auction. Ebay is not a mysterious place & your entire selling history is searchable.
Go take your meds & go easy on the "with food" part.

"LOL"...are 12? You claim to know much about what I do & how I do it for a guy that doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. You also try to make this personal. I wonder if you'd be so brave when not hiding behind a computer keyboard slinging insults and idiotic opinions. I think we all know guys like you. But this is not supposed to be personal, pal. It's about knives. You know, a hobby you obviously don't deserve to be involved in with your piss poor attitude. Anything else, genius? If you'd like, we can take this out of a public forum and keep it just between us, cupcake. I'd enjoy that even more.
