I received one today from Jailhack...very nicely built.
I must say, in the past I had bought one from a show dealer and realized later the liner was jiggly and there was play. That one ended up getting stolen. Needless to say, for a while I had less than a favorable opinion of this model, even though I thought the overall design was good.
Some improvements in this one besides the obvious better condition:
When closed, the back end of blade tang which is exposed is now rounded, whereas in early models it was sharply squared. This allows inside the pocket carry because it's nice and feather-light.
The other improvement for me is that this time I got the plainedge instead of the 50-50. Cuts like a scalpel.
This is obviously NOT a hard-use beater knife, but makes for an excellent gentleman's pocket knife, where extreme sharpness and precision are favored over heavy-duty cutting ability (makes a great backup carry to a bigger knife!).
