The lionsteels seem to be being slept on in my opinion. Guess price maybe keeps initial buyers away? Seem like quality hybrids of traditional with some modern features

That's what she said....
Sorry, I couldn't help it.
I love the combination with bottle opener, can opener, and blade long enough for an apple and wide enough to spread peanut butter. This knife might be perfect for me.
Mine just arrived. It's very nice and the blade is as sharp as a light saber. I already cut myself pretty good. 
It's a bit lighter weight than I had hoped, a little less solid feeling, but that might be fine. It doesn't need to be a brick.
It is just a bit too short, though. I like Opinel 8 sized knives. This is about Opinel 6 or 7.
Walk and talk is about perfect. It's easy but snaps into place perfectly. I would have preferred to have half-stops but that would be just a bonus.
Can't wait to test the corkscrew and can opener.
I'm really glad to have that screwdriver head, too. There are so many things I need to pry open. I will also use it to wrap in fine sandpaper or scotch-brite and clean out the gutters in other pocket knives in my collection. It's just the right shape and size.
All in all, it's almost perfect, would have just preferred if it were 1-2 cm longer.

Need pics
This is the carbon fiber one. Just so happened that there's a measuring tape attached to my desk at my new job.
I just wish this were sized like an Opined 8. Fantastic knife, though.
