Got this on Thursday and from the second I held it I was in love. Fantastic design and ergos are incredible. This isn't a review I just figured I would show you some pics and a few comparisons. The backspacer is dead sexy. Sorry my pics aren't that great.

In the pocket for those who may be wondering.

How would you rate G-10 on this one? Is it a pocket shredder?

I want this knife, but I find myself carrying my titanium folders because they are easier on the pockets.

I would say its about the same level of grip that a new Paramilitary 2 comes with, maybe just a tad under. Its not bad so far. And the spot that the locket clip falls on is one of the milled out areas on the handle.
 
Could you give us a shot with it closed? I'd like to see where the thumbstud falls. Thank you for sharing the photos - it looks really nice! :D

You even included an in-pocket shot? - dude you are awesome - thanks! :) Looks like it has plenty of access to the stud if i'm not mistaken :)

Thanks bro. Yeah the thumbstuds seems to have plenty of access. I have no problems with my XL hands.

You bet brother. Glad I am able to help :).
 
The screw spacing on the clip looks the same as the skyline/ZT clip. Are you able to test fit it on another knife and post pics? I like the looks of that clip, and if it would fit my ZT's I may try and get my hands on a couple.
 
I've had my Piston for a bit, and I recently carried it for a few days; I like it a lot! I have mine set up for tip-up carry, and I think it works quite well. It seems to be what a few here have asked for: a larger Skyline with Speedsafe. It sure is light, and the G-10 texture is just right IMO. I probably paid too much, but I think it's worth it!
