All right DLT Trading dropped a bunch of these today, and somehow my sweaty fingers saw it on Facebook on my phone before they sold out, and I managed to get one despite having to check out on my phone and having to use my debit card that wasn't saved into Google Pay because my credit card is being replaced right now.

So show me your Koenig Arii porn! I am so jazzed about this knife.
 
I guess that FB might have some redeeming value after all....
Good snag...

Congratulations I hope you have better luck with them than I did. I found it to be such an overrated and IG worthy only knife I moved it within a month. Uncomfortable ergos, felt like I was carrying a brick in my pocket and the blade stock is too think for a decent slicer. The only positive thing I can say about it is it didn't cost me any money to experience one first hand. The locator pins for the backspacer are also a dumb design. Why can't Koenig use simple through barrel nuts like RHK or CRK??

The nice thing about it is that even if I'm not blown away by it I can sell it and make $25 easily. No decrease in value driving them off the lot!
 
So here's mine - first impressions, it is much, much lighter than you'd think because of the incredible internal milling to lighten the scales. I am... not super enamored of the flipper tab. I would prefer if it were not jimped and just had a slight upward hook too it. The detent is stiff at first, which Koenig says is deliberate and should soften with some use. The action is incredible, though, as is the fit and finish. Really like it!
