I've been wanting this knife all year and when I finally saw them in stock I picked it up immediately. I'll start off by saying I'm very impressed with this knife. The blade came dead center, the lockup is rock solid, and the lockup is also quite early. It's extremely lightweight, but it has a good size blade. I wasn't sure if I would like the speedsafe on this knife or not, but I have to say it's quite a pleasure. I would recommend everyone go and pick this knife up, you won't be disappointed.

It's been on my wish list, but I haven't picked one up yet. I've yet to see one in person. What color is the raw G10? It seems every picture has them slightly different. I've seen them look pale green, yellow, orange, and off-white.
 
How thin is the cutting edge? It looks pretty thin. Is it thinner behind the edge than a Para2 or a Delica? Looks to be a good cutter.
 
It's hollow ground so yes the edge is very thin it shears through cardboard easily. The blade stock is about the same as the Endura 4.
