I got one!

<drum roll> It's a Spyderco Mouse...original model. None of that funky-shaped hole Wegner II junk.

This knife is DIESEL, despite being small it's really tough feeling, and I'm sure I could use it as an EDC in place of my large Voyager if I wanted. It'll be my "going to work, wearing slacks" knife.

Clip is great, it's tip-up, and the spyderhole isn't bad for a small knife. Lockup is super tight, fit and finish is SWEET, and it's lockback. Everything I wanted in a small knife! We'll see how VG-10 holds up to use.

I'll try not to strain my arm patting myself on the back :D

EDIT: Also, this knife is probably the most comfortable thing I've held in my hand in a long time. GREAT design.
 
Interesting. It isnt too small to secure a good grip on it? I'd be afraid of it slipping when trying to cut something tough. But it looks nice. And no one would give you funny looks for whipping it out.
 
I put a hangman's noose fob on mine and that helps out in the security department when you go to cut something difficult.
 
It's really not. Your index and middle fingers slide right into the grooves in the handle, and your thumb goes right onto the dip formed by the handle and the blade, there are ridges there but my thumb's calaised enough not to really notice.
A little of your ring finger fits on, too. It's surprisingly solid, you end up not even noticing 1.5 of your fingers aren't even on the knife. You can cut as hard as you want with this little guy.

Metal handles help, don't flex at all.
