Thanks for the excellent review of a slept-on knife! This is a knife I bought over a year ago and initially noticed it due to its size being clearly knife law friendly.. I wanted a sturdy but small knife and the Mini fit that description. I agree that the fit and finish on the scales are not the cleanest but that somehow adds to the knife's character. Although the thumbstuds are easier to use to open the knife I sometimes use the front-flipper feature out of curiosity as this is my only front-flipper. It doesn't exactly flip but it doesn't seem possible to really flip a front-flipper that it, unless my dexterity is really lacking. I have medium sized hands and am able to comfortably get a three-and-a-half finger grip on with the lanyard anchoring the other half of my small finger.
