Just got it in the mail. Here's a picture.

One thing that worries me is the liner touches the blade when it's closed and made a mark on it up near the thumbstud... I know it's a knife and it's made to get "beat up", but it kind of irks me. I read a few others who said they bent the liner so it didn't touch or something, but I don't know how they went about that. Maybe it's suppose to touch?

Does everyone's touch? It only seems to when the blade locks shut, thats when the liner pushed all the way in.

Aside from that I like it, it's very light and the G10 is MUCH grippier than my Benchmade. This is the first experience with Kershaw's G10 material. It also came sharper than my Damascus Leek did.

yes, it touches, because there's a tiny ball on the liner. When the blade closes, the liner(the ball) will lock the blade and prevent it from opening accidentally. I think it's not a big deal.
 
Alright, if that's just how it's designed and part of the locking to keep it shut then I don't mind. I actually don't really mind either way, I'm just overly critical upon receiving anything. As long as it doesn't physically scratch it and cut into the blade it'll be fine, it just looks like a mark right now.

Here are some more pictures. Not sure what the image size rule is here, if they're too big I'll resize them.

Thanks :)

It also seems to rub a bit on the other side of the blade when opening, I really need to get over it I guess :) The knife is great otherwise though, extremely sharp and I am really liking the G10. The sharpness compares to my BM 710 and may actually be a bit sharper given how easily it shaves hairs. If I had any talent with my Sharpmaker I'd try my hand and sharpening it more.
