I don't have a Super Beast (sorry) but I do have a Beast. I've posted a few times on several forums about how impressed I am with it. It's a very well made knife that operates flawlessly. Plus Jim is a stand up guy and a real pleasure to do business with.

i have a beast, what ive noticed with them are quite are few a plagued with being off center (mine being one of them). fish and finish is a bit rough with machining marks but jim makes these from start to finish by himself (except for the water jetting). with that being said, i have an ikbs version and love it 
I just received my Super Beast this week and love it.
Jim put a 'tree bark' texture to the scales and made it with a new pivot screw. Mine will be an EDC and will never see the safe....I'm not worrying about the finish but IMHO the finish is superb (& the blade is centered perfectly). The pivot bearing is amazing and the blade opens incredibly smooth. Frame lock engages solidly at 30% with zero blade play. Visually, the knife is amazingly beautiful. The 4" blade feels heavy but balances perfectly in my hand.
I high recommend the knife and working with Jim. Its amazing for a custom knife maker to reply to emails in less than 24 hours (most of the time on the same day!!!).
A few teasers for you........
