This knife purchase was supposed to be a Spyderco Endura (Sorry, sorry!). But when I ordered, I found a Piston in my cart instead. Ooops! I really wasn't planning to buy the Piston yet, but I found a good deal on it. Not sure how I will feel about the lack of liners, but at least the handle is G-10. Eagerly awaiting my next shipment!

I tend to order different knives than what I was planning on when I'm drunk.

Yes, I have. A Blackout and ESEE Izula. Also some cheap kitchen knives that turned out to be quite nice. I'm hoping for a Sparpmaker next.
What on earth is a Sparpmaker?

Thank you. Sprelling is not one of my my strong points.

I've been EDC'ing the Piston for the past few days, and I really like it so far. It's really Skyline-like in it's thinness and lightness. The G-10 flexes a bit when gripped hard, but he lockup doesn't change a bit. Also, when I first got it, the opening speed was a bit on the sluggish side, but it has broken in nicely after a couple hundred opening/closing cycles. I even think it was worth the inflated price that I paid from that big-box ourdoors store that starts with "C"... 
I just wanted to be sure. 'Cause what ever a "Sparpmaker" was, it sounded COOL!
The G10 with no liners is really my only concern with the Piston because I prefer liners. It is also really odd for me to buy a knife without a lot of thought. I will spend weeks looking up review and watching videos before making a purchase. Somewhat circumvented in that I found almost nothing about this knife.
Fun fact: the knife shipped today! From within my own state! (Did not expect that.) And went to another state to be sorted and shipped back to my state! Woo! I love package delivery sevices.
