In your thread in the Blade Discussion Forum, you said you were going with the Spyderco Native instead of the Spec Bump. If you didn't buy the Native, which Bump did you get? The Speed Bump is a value priced version of the Spec Bump, but still better than anything CRKT makes, in my opinion. Also, the blade is NOT thin. Perhaps you should try the Zero Tolerance line of knives and try the ZT0301 or ZT0400. They have thick blades, fast AO, are drilled for left hand carry, and deploy quickly and effectively!
Here is a link to some Zero Tolerance pics and info:
