Agreed. Hope it starts a new trend for Spyderco. Not that there is anything wrong with the existing trend/line, but it's going to be nice to have something to show folks who say all Spyderos look alike.

There's a couple videos out from spydieguys on youtube, great looking knife. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LFfhe3HjDU
I wish I had the money to get onemy wallet is thin right now...
That is a great knife, however the price through that seller would probably be even more out of reach.

Mine just came UPS!!!!!!
This thing is gorgeous beyond words.:thumbup:
The spine is also nicely file-worked.
I wish I took better pics.I hate to throw one of my crappy pics of it on here.
It didn't come in a box.Instead it came in a nice padded zip-case with a big gold spyderco logo on it.

Mine arrived today and I'm very impressed and pleased. Even more so since I managed to get it at a very good price. (tad over $180, if anyone cares).
The blue handles are a very dark blue...almost black...which I like.
The file work, while not fancy, is well done and adds that extra something.
No clip, which I don't mind at all...not sure a clip would loook "right" on this one...even it was damascus too.
The random pattern of the damasucs blade slightly bothers me. The pattern on one side of the blade is more shallow than the other. I'm a bit compulsive, and asymmetry tends to annoy/distract me, but as a poster on another forum pointed out this is probably more natural and more "authentic" in appearance. I've decided to go with that thinking.

Alann,
The slightly uneven pattern seems fairly common. Mine is like that and a few of the posted pics from other members also shows similar differences. It's gotta be really hard to get perfect grinds on both sides by hand. I'm sure there's a few even ones out there.
