I think I want to pick up a couple of the sprint run foliage green rookies. I want to know what you guys ( and girls) think of them. It will primarily be an EDC knife. How have they performed at those general EDC tasks for you? Pics would be awesome too.
 
i just grabbed one of the exchange.

it is much smaller than i thought. should be a good edc for small-med sized hands.

ill get some pics up later.

I think it's a great, small, lightweight knife. It is a bit smaller than the Delica and only has a liner on one side, making it nice a light.
 
I've been wanting one of these for a while. Didn't know about the 1 liner thing. That's even more appealing to me. I like a light knife with good blade-handle ratio. Only thing that bugs me is the aggressive g-10. I want my denim to stay intact.

One question for the owners: Are the ergonomics more like the delica 4 or the delica 3?

Here's a review with some pictures next to a delica. I like the thinness!

My brother has one. It's a bit smaller than my delica, but not by much. I wish the round hole was bigger though. Still, a very nice knife. I'm slightly jealous, but I have my D4 Wave to keep me busy.
 
I had one...sold it to Morimotom. The Rookie is a cool little knife. I sold it because it didn't ride low enough in my pocket when using the clip. Taking the clip off and carrying it in pocket was an option my pockets are reserved for slip joints. :
