Another odd thing is that Walmart has it labeled as a full size taclite and not the mini. I've also noticed a number of differences in the design. First off, the thumb stud is high on the walnut model, possibly due to the thickness of the handle slabs? Secondly, the blade grind doesn't come to an abrupt stop at the kick of the knife, rather it tapers off. Conversely, the swedge looks a bit different, perhaps more robust? Lastly, the liners look thinner than those of the G10 model but it may just be a trick of the eye.
Overall, I am really enjoying mine. Very light and easy to carry and the edge came shaving sharp. The lock up left alittle to be desired as on the first model I had the liner slipped over to the far right almost off of the tang. On the second model I had, the problem had been corrected but the liner still moves slightly. Fortunately the lockup hasn't been compromised at all and is still seeminly solid.
