My Kiwi arrived !!

[shappa]

Joyce and Sal, my Kiwi arrived today and I'm thrilled. Thank you very much.
Guys, this is a great pocket knife! It locks up crisp and clean. No blade wobble...I mean none! Solid and tight as expected. Folded, the blade sits right down the middle. The blade tip is dead center. The hump on the blade gives a lot of control of the cutting edge when your fore finger is used to guide the blade. The deeply cut finger grooves lock this little knife into the hand well.
The scales are a nice warm color, off setting the the stainless bolsters nicely. The scales are fit very well.
It's not a quick opening knife like spyderco's more tactical and larger knives. The Spyder hole gives excellent purchase when unlocking the lock back and closing the knife. The lock is solid. A nice "snick" sound. I don't see anyway I could accidentally unlock this knife, even with a "gorilla" grip, yet it unlocked with medium/firm thumb pressure on the lock bar.

Thank you again for a great knife. You really made my year.
edited to add: I sent Joyce a pic of me and my new Kiwi with the request that she post it here since I don't know how.

I really love mine as well. It is a great looking knife. Some say Spyderco makes ugly knives but this time Sal made a great looking knife that is made for gents to carry in the bottom of their pockets. I like using mine to peel large navel oranges. Great for other small cutting chores around the house and office.

Thanks Sal.
