My GB just arrived.
My initial impression after opening the box and examining this knife.

My impression after deploying the blade four or five times.

My impression after slipping it into my pocket.

My overall feeling about the knife.
:thumbup::thumbup:
Now, as yet it has seen no use. I normally carry a ZTMUDD for work, and it has seen the seamy underbelly of hell. But, it isn't a pretty knife.
This, however, is a pretty knife, and while I'm pretty sure it can take hard use, psychologically, it's hard for me to use a pretty knife hard.
So this one may just see pocket carry for EDC. I really like it. I have a couple other, larger Spyderco models such as a Police and a Superhawk. Neither of those knives deploys the blade as smoothly and as satisfyingly (I guess that's a legit word) as this GB does.
I like the blade shape, the fit and finish, the heft, the handle, and everything.
And all at a decent price. I hope like crazy this model and similarly made and priced models continue to be introduced by Spyderco.
