and all I can say is WOW!:thumbup: It is alot bigger than I expected and has excellent handle ergo's, as good or better than my Caly3. I get a full four finger grip, that is comfortable, and feels totally natural in my hand. Folded, the Poliwog has a pretty wide profile, 1-3/4" wide, compared to the 1-1/2" of my G10 Caly3. But even it being a bit wider it is still unnoticeable in the right corner, of my right front jeans pocket. The blade grind is almost identical to the Native, and I'm very happy it is VG-10 and not S30V, I suck at sharpening S30V. THe only things I would change, would be to give it a flat grind, and G10 scales, ala Dodo. I'm surprised this knife isn't very popular, considering the ergo's are near identical to the Dodo with a more conventional geometry. The Poliwog really has spiked my interest in Spyderco's LBK's, and if the Lava had screw construction I'd be hitting the buy now tab.
