Love mine just wish it used a higher end steel as Ive got vg10 out the wazoo. If it did it would certainly get more pocket time here. No less its still my fav of the series. I have a tendency of losing stuff thats dropped into the pocket so the wire clip addition and overall larger package is a plus for me. If they did a sprint with a different blade steel I would indeed buy it as well. If you would like to see it next to any other models lemme kno.

The Kiwi 4 rocks. I posted some comparison pics in a few other threads and people here are probably sick of seeing them. If you want to see them I will send you links.
Frankly I like the VG-10 and peel ply G10, and I think the Kiwi 4 represents the most recent culmination of Sal's design experience, seamlessly blending a decent sized blade with an ultra-compact package and impeccable ergonomics and safety. I know the build might seem plain, but it seems to be a hard sell for a lot of people based on what I've seen, and premium materials would up the price and make it even harder to justify. If it sells well, as we all know, those doors are likely to be opened. But in reading reviews of the Air, for example, I gather that premium blade steel in a small "gent's" folder confuses people and makes them uneasy about the price point. I imagine the same would be true for the Kiwi 4.
Anyway, like Deric I am also happy to post comparison pics or send you links, so just let me know if you want photos or user feedback.
