I just received my new plain edged Spyderco Viele from ABC-Direct (great price and excellent service). The fit and finish on the knife, as usual, is terrific. The micarta really gives this knife a classy look. Prior to this, all my knives had ATS-34/55, BG-42, or CPM 440V blades. At first, I was kind of hesitant because of the AUS-8. However, now, I realize that it wasn't all that big a deal. A little extra blade maintenance is a pleasure for such a beautiful knife.
I did get a chance to handle one when they first came out some time ago. At that time, I seem to recall that the liner lock went all the way to the right scale and had a funky bend in it. On my new knife, the liner lock doesn't have the bend and set just left of the center of the blade. Did Spyderco re-engineer the linerlock for these knives?
