The pictures I took with my little digital instamatic are embarrassing; on the net are some great pictures though. And it does look exactly like the pictures on the net.

Here's one of them:

This is a tremendous knife for the money ($76.95 and $6.95 shipping). It came shaving sharp; the damascus is beautiful, and the knife gives a very solid feel for such a little guy. It's heavier than my daughter's pink leek. It's a frame lock, which I love, and the fit and finish are excellent. If you like 'em small, this is a great "gentleman's folder." The assisted opening is a lot of fun, too. I want to mention again, the damascus is really good looking. Kind of a random wave pattern; very attractive with substantial contrast in the dark and light areas.

It comes with a sticker warning you to oil the blade often.

I got it as a gift for my father, who doesn't share my love of larger folders. If Kershaw made this knife with a 3.5 or 3.75 inch blade they wouldn't be able to keep them in stock. Even as little as it is, it almost made me want to carry small.

Great knife. :thumbup:
 
"If Kershaw made this knife with a 3.5 or 3.75 inch blade they wouldn't be able to keep them in stock. "
I agree. Indeed, the 3.75 - 4" folder of this design and similar (Twitch XL etc) is desperately needed by some of us. Laws make it difficult for makers to justify that extension of blade lenght.
 
What's the model number of this knife? I'm trying to find it on the Kershaw website.
Thanks!
Nicholas
