Came in the mail today. Very small, but I really like the acrylic!

It's so small I can't even see the pic;)

Darn computer has been having trouble loading pics lately:rolleyes: Looks like the handle is even full of cola!

Perfect! I'm really looking forward to the Northfields, and the snakewood sure looks sweet...

Ha, yes, this is true. I've always liked the 25's as "small knives"(this is my second one after losing the first), but the little 06 feels positively tiny and toy-like next to it! Not in a bad way mind you. I bought it for everyday office carry which I'll pair with something larger just for fun, but I foresee the little 06 getting used a lot when I have to do any cutting with people around.

Actually the sunfish (top knife) is pretty average sized when compared with most modern-style folders. About the size of a spyderco delica. It's definitely one of my favorite GEC's!
 
I must say that looks really nice. How thick is it compared to the #25? Are the blades and covers the same thickness on both knives or is the #06 slightly thinner?

You have to understand this comment comes from one who usually carries a peanut and considers the Case 6232 jack a big pocket knife.

No, the 06 is definitely scaled down both in blade and handle thickness. I'd say roughly 2/3 the thickness of the 25.

That's the purpose I envision for this one. It's high time they've made something slim/trim and smallish in scale, IMO. It looks to be a neat little knife.

Granted, if I had my druthers I'd like to see an ebony barehead version with lanyard tube in N'field trim.
