Okay, I had to buy one, and just received it. I can only give my first impressions. Mine is #0093, 1st generation and blue. The blue is a difficult color to find.
1. Solid - Meaty Ti slabs and a good heft, weighing in at about 4.5oz
2. Handle has a good feel. Nicely contoured and the back spacer really helps.
3. Blade is an interesting shape. Nice point and belly, with the advantages of a recurve. Grinds are pretty good,very sharp out of the box.
4. Action - the assisted opener is quite pleasing. Somewhat better than the Dominator, if my recollection is correct. Seems more controlled somehow. Makes a great sound when the blade is deployed.
5. Lock up- solid. Lock bar covers about 1/3 of the base of the blade, just the way I like it.
6. Very attractive package, overall.
Looking forward to using the knife (maybe).
