Mine showed up early. It's tiny and super cute. Flips great. First impression, I love it. I snapped a quick cell phone shot of it, but I'll have to shoot it next to something for a sense of scale--it's tiny. It's about the same size as my Busker, a smidge longer and a smidge narrower, but with the copper it's heavier of course.

I still want to try out the bareknuckle. The Copper natrix looks like it could be a great gentleman’s folder with abit of patina on it.
Does anyone know how the liners are on the g10 natrix? I am particularly curious about the one that isn’t assisted. Do they only have minimal liners by the pivot and where the lockbar screws onto the body?
If the knife was essentially all g10 except the lockbar I think that would be an amazing light knife.
What state are you in, and where did you order it from?
Illinois and knifecenter.com
Here are a handful of quick comparison photos, hopefully this will give folks a rough idea of how small the knife is. First, with a few common carry knives (Manix 2 LW, Bugout, Southard):

With a close relative, a smallish-itself ZT 0770cfm4 that dwarfs it:

That Southard though!!!
The clip is blue like the hardware on that one as well. I like the Southard and enjoy its many clothing options very much. Here are a few (I have many more):

I don't have a copper Southard scale set though . . . . hmm. I do have a timascus Southard in the works, though.
Looking like mine should land in "The Rocks" sometime this week!!!John
