What a fine, fine knife. It seems like the perfect gentleman's EDC to me. The workmanship is flawless, the action is flawless and the thumb throw is absolutely perfect to deploy without adjusting your grip on the scales up or down. For my hands anyway. I'm totally stoked. I did however, buy it because it was Bob's last collaboration before his death so I may not carry it at all or for a while anyway. I got taken a little bit but I've been trying to get one for weeks now and everyone who had them on their store page for the fair price of $130 give or take did not have them anymore and emailed me back saying they can't get it. I found this one on eBay for $185 Buy It Now, which I did. I'm happy to have it. Here are some teasers :)

Don't worry. I paid $199 (which is full retail) for the first one I bought.
 
That's an amazing looking knife. I love the shape of the blade, and it also flows into the handle very cleanly when closed. Clean lines all around on that knife.
 
So when i got mine and payed 110. I did good? :D:D sorry had to. The only thing i might not like is the clip the end of it sticks up too far imo and gets caught very easy. But other than that is a GREAT knife.
 
Beautiful knife. I'm still waiting on mine.

Nice Tele too, but it has too many strings for me (I'm a bass player).

It's a fine knife. Thanks on the guitar - it's a so called "Super Tele". It is a custom built John Suhr Classic-T spec'ed out totally vintage except it has a modern fingerboard radius, stainless steel frets and a hand cut at the heel for better upper fret access. The body is one piece premium swamp ash and the guitar weighs in at a svelt 6.4 pounds.

She's a player for sure. So is the knife ;)
