If the Sebenza were a flipper, it would be this... Very cool, I had never seen this before!

Also reminds me of Scott Cook Lochsa a bit too.For the price it's phenomenal knife.Tolerances and fit,finish are out of this world,like you said Sebenza like.Was lucky to snatch non flipper/washers.I think only direct order from AB or Canadian/German dealer has them.Not available in US I think in this configuration.
Cheers!

3.25, I tend to carry my smaller folders while the 3.5” and larger are left at home. 2 3/4” to 3 1/4” is my sweet spot for day to day use.

Right on! 4 inch is my sweet spot but that's only because I'm 7ft tall with hands like baseball mitts. Anything smaller disappears when I'm holding it. Is this your first Spartan? You are going to LOVE IT!!

I love the anno work on that one, I was definitely eyeing it. I love that Joe has multiple knife deployment designs in his portfolio. Mine has a thumb disk, yours is a flipper, and he also was selling one with a thumbstud. He definitely is a fan of variety as well, can't beat it.
 
I finally got around to picking up a Buck 110 Slim Select. I already have the regular 110 (complete with brass bolsters) and my initial expectation of this knife was for it to be a folder to hang up in a shed, but it's a lot better than that. It has the same 3.75" blade with the 440C heat treatment of Buck knives made in the US and a strong lockback mechanism, but with a much more streamline design for carrying due to the thinner plastic handle and about a third of the weight. If you're looking for an inexpensive folder for the glove compartment or toolbox, but you want it to be an actual knife to use, this is a good choice. It would make a decent first knife for someone to have, where you want them to have something usable, but at a price point where you don't worry about what happens to it. It's also a good knife to throw into your airline luggage (not carry-on), because it's something that can be easily replaced if stolen.

At 6’6” I also have big ol mits, lol but have learned that depending on the task, a smaller knife with excellent ergos is usually capable of getting the job done.
I have the Talos that I like very much, but this is my first US made Spartan.

The Fox Knives "Chillin". Kind of a dumb name for a sweet knife. It's a production version of the Jesper Voxnaes custom F8. This is the full Ti model in M398 steel. I was going to buy one from the big outfit in Marion, VA. but the price with tax being $228 made me hesitate and they sold out. Turned out to be a good thing! I found a retailer in Italy. Price including 20 Euros shipping added was under $200 total, and the knife arrived in less than a week. Got a Lynch wire clip replacement on the way.

That's a sweet little knife!
There's one L though, Chilin, which makes me wonder if it's a reference to its "Chinese" styling (think Lum)and the pronunciation of Jilin province....
Whatever, I'm going to pick one up.:thumbsup:
