I’ve been looking at this knife and it looks pretty good to me. Not sure if I should pull the trigger on one, though. In some photos, it looks like the point of the clip and the point of the titanium don’t match up and in others I’ve seen the USA is off centered. I’m guessing this may just be the camera angle used when taking the photos.
Anyone have one of these yet? If so, how do you like it?

I don’t have the Kranos but I do have the Harsey and Pallas and love them both. They are freaking awesome. They are great guys over there at Spartan. I would get it!!

Thanks for the reply. That's good to hear. I'm really leaning heavily towards getting the knife. I think it is one of the best looking knives I've seen in quite a while.

Spartan's quality is second to none. You don't need to worry.

That’s great to hear. I think I’ve decided to go ahead with the knife. Now I just need to decide on the color. I like the blue and the plain.
This may sound like a dumb question, but will the blue anodizing hold up? I know on all of my CRKs the blue of the thumb stud wears off fairly quick.

Anodizing is not very durable in the first place - no matter who does it.
My anodized (blue) Reate ti screws started to show wear after a month or so.

Thanks for the info. Hearing that, I think I will go with the plain instead of the blue.
 
I like the look of the blue one as well. I wish it functional thumb studs as well I would own it too! I didn't realize it was that big, all the more reason to get one!!! I love the look, can't stand flippers. Get it man! We would love to hear what you think about it.

Yeah blue is what I was going to go with originally. If the anodizing would not hold up and started coming off in spots I don’t think it would be the one for me to go with. The plain looks good, but that blue is just a beautiful knife.
 
Looks like a poorly designed knife that might flip well but has an uncomfortable handle and poor blade geometry.

I would not hesitate to try the Pallas or Harsey. But not that puppy.

To be honest. Id like to be wrong. Maybe make a quick video review. It's rare that my gut instinct is off.

I have the paisley Harsey with gold anodized hardware. I have carried it every day and flipped it open and closed an ungodly amount of times and the anodized clip, screws, ant thumb studs have not faded at all.

That’s interesting, what makes you say that?

Instinct. I know performance. If it does otherwise. Id like to see it. The Pallas and Harsey are great. Just the one model looks like a fudgesicle.

Lol I see. I don't know man I just watched the videos on youtube again. Looks pretty cool. That being said I do not like designated flippers. The Pallas is as close to a flipper as I care for. I use the thumbstuds.
