Last couple of days ive been carrying the Kershaw Thermite i just recieved in the mail....I have to say i love this knife has everything i look for in a blade. If i had to change anything it would be the steel, if this knife came in a better steel it would be best knife ive handles for the money. As it is for 40 bucks cant be beat!!!! I have 200 and 300$ knives that arent as nice to me as this Thermite
 
With me for 10 tandems today.

Yes very nice. Do the minor mods include removing the (rather large) logo from the lock side by any chance? If so, how did that go?

Actually, the logo isn't that obtrusive...the obnoxious one shown in pre-release ad's was something of a lighting trick. The real thing is pretty subdued. Inversely, the blade has ZERO markings on it. It's super plain on markings.

The minor mod was to disassemble and retool the angle on the "D" pin that held the thumb stud at an amazingly poor angle (awful rotational angle to the pivot geometry). Now, with it more akin to a Kershaw Blur, pushing directly parallel to the pivot and towards the end of the handle, it opens lightning fast. I also flipped the clip to tip up.

It's a pretty well done knife for the price.

Will do a review soon.

SR1A. I love it. Its my favorite folder currently. Very smooth open and close, rotoblock thing is a bit stiff, but getting better.

Yeah the rotoblock breaks in pretty quickly.

If you're ever feeling ballsy try throwing some phosphor bronze washers in it, I did it to my SR-1D and it's like a totally different knife.
