After reading the positive comments I did buy one ( new) . I was going to post a review but I never got a chance.
To make a long story short, I'm going to contact the maker about correcting a few QC issues. Overall the design is fantastic, but a few things got past QC.
Here's a few pics

Thanks JDP. If you don't mind keep us posted on it's performance.
I can't even find one listed for sale. Some prototypes were put on the market and gobbled up. Beyond that, I can only think they're still tweaking the "second" version.
I have signed up for Darrells newsletter again, (since I haven't recieved one in 4 or 5 months, thought maybe I'd got dropped off) and left a message asking about the "Q". Haven't heard anything yet.
I'm hoping we'll see the changes quoted by cybrok on his review, based on his conversation with DDR...
Quote:
The new version will be coming out soon.
It will have aluminum handles.
Made in my shop.
It will have my ARMOUR texture on the handles.
I will offer this blade and a bowie style also.
It will be available assited opening.
BUT - This review was dated May of '08. I'm just ancy I guess.
When I look at alot of the "Factory" makers putting out folders in the $200-$400 range, the proposition of a "Q" in the $200ish street price seems to sunny the skies a bit.:thumbup:
