I just got to handle a Ken Onion Chive today. That was one cool little mechanism there, and the lock felt pretty secure. However the blade is kind of hard to close one-handed, which I guess is reasonable since you're going against the torsion bar.
I really like the assisted-opening idea, but I personally like the looks of the Flash much more than the Chive. The additional safety and the low-carry clip are additional pluses, but I hope the Zytel scales don't feel light and cheap like on my Autoclip.
Now to see if I can hold out until it's released... or else I'll have to buy both!

The very, very first Flashes should begin shipping in about 4 weeks (give or take a bit). Gearing up to start a first production run takes a bit of time to do it right. Ask again in a few weeks, I should know more then.

4 weeks, 4 weeks 
Too bad I'll be away from the US in a month... I'll be sure to order one so that I can come back to a wonderful welcome-back gift.
Hope you can fix the migraine situation up, Ron.
