I've seen a few pics and it looks great. How do you like it? Thinking about getting one. :)

Thanks in advance,
Chris
 
It's nice. The thing to keep in mind though is that the blade is under 3 inches and the handles is easily half an inch thick. A very "stubby" knife. It might also get complicated when cutting something "thick" like a half inch thick piece of cardboard. The M390 steel has excellent edge holding, but I still prefer my BM 710-1 in the same steel.
 
i had one but got rid if it. i didnt like how it stuck out of the pocket,the clip doesnt make it go in very deep,& it seeemed to bang into everything. i also dont care for the finish on the pocket clip & lock side,it seems to wear from just pocket carry.....
 
Thanks, Noctis. That blade size actually is what I'm looking for. Over the summer I bought a Spyderco Manix 2 which I love, but it's just too big for me. It's too bad as the Manix 2 would be perfect for me if it was just about 70% of the current size. :-)
 
I've got an MPR and love it...Nope it's not perfect...the clip looks good, but isn't the best in function, but it works. It is also chunky and heavy at 5/8" thick,and ~5.5ozs but I can get a full four finger grip because of the width, and being in construction the weight or width doesn't bother me carrying it in my jeans pocket. If you like thin, light weight knives pass on this one.
It is certainly robust..just like it's name implies, a Mini Pocket Rocket! It has a thick Ti lock, and thick blade stock that I compare to a Strider. It has an adjustable stop pin so the lock can be adjusted as it wears. Although with the thick lockside Ti, I don't see adjusting it in my lifetime. The action, at least on my example, is butter smooth, lockup is rock solid, yet easy to release, and the blade is perfectly centered. While the weight, to blade length ratio turns alot of people off, it makes the MPR a legal to carry heavy duty EDC. I rotate this with my small Insingo as my daily work EDC, which gets carried every other day and don't see myself parting with it any time soon.

I love mine, it's a beautiful knife. The pocket clip looks great IMO but is kind of awkward. I took mine off and use a short lanyard, much better. It's a beefy package but I can get the most out of a fairly short blade with max control. Did I say I love mine?
