Nice! The Rubicon is fantastic, but I've passed on the others for now. Kinda burnt out on Ti framelocks. I'm intrigued by the Chubby though. What are the CF inserts like? More like the Sage laminate, or more like the high polish Rubicon?

The CF inserts on the Chubby seem to be like the top layer of the CF/G-10 laminate. It must be fairly thin since the holes on the titanium scale do not go all the way through. Chubby has the making of a great change pocket knife.

That's what I figured, thanks. I'll probably pick one up once they hit the secondary market.
 
Thanks for the photos, Ram.

The f&f on my Rubicon and Chubby are even nicer than on my Bowie.
 
Anyone know the weight on the Chubby? Interesting design.It looks like the knife has a pivot screw and two back spacer screws at the rear.Pretty cool.

Every website I have visited has the chubby listed as weighing 4.1oz

4.1 ounces is from the Spyderco website.

I weighed it half an hour ago and it's 4.04 ounces. I'm at about sea level whereas Golden, CO is a mile higher.
