I switched all the screws around- I think it looks a little bit better this way. Damn those things are shiny! Took the lanyard off too- it just wasn't for me, but I kept the lanyard pin in and MAN it looks great! That color blue really gives it this royal, classy look. I love how polished the spine of the blade is, yet the stonewash finish on the sides gives it this slick meant-to-be-used appearance as well, and it's fantastic at hiding fingerprints (just can't stop touching it!). I haven't quite gotten the oiled glass feel yet but I'll be damned if I'm not spending every second in which my hand is free opening and closing this beauty.
There's something amazingly satisfying in those last few millimeters in which the blade closes. Every time I close it I feel like I just did something incredibly awesome. I have such an incredible sense of security with this knife. I can't help but smile every time I look at it. It looks so sick just protruding slightly out of my pocket, the blue anodized spacer telling those looking "yeah, I'm a nice knife".
She fits in my hand perfectly as well. I'm a Spyderco guy so I love knives with great ergonomics. While this thing doesn't look ergonomic, I feel that it fits in my hand perfectly. My pinky isn't falling off the edge and my fingers aren't crowded together to make that happen. My thumb rests precisely upon the jimping, which isn't so aggressive that it's going to lock your thumb in if you don't want it, but it'll hold you when you want it to. I just plain flat-out feel like I'm holding something that I'm not worthy of, but it's mine anyway, and no-one else can have it.
Now will someone find me something to cut already?!?
