I've never heard, or seen of this knife recently or in the past. But I seen it tonight on Spyderco's website, and I completely love the look of it. It's unique, practical design. It looks like a great utility, EDC knife. Anyone own one of these badboys or have any experience with one?
 
i have one.

i don't carry it often, it is a bit small for my tastes.

the lock is still breaking in, and doesn't always engage fully.

great blade to handle ratio, not much wasted space. the leaf blade is very wide for a knife of this size, even closed. but it carries very well because it is very thin.

easy to manipulate as well, especially for a small folder. but the handle is narrow, so if you have large hands, you may end up with a two or three finger grip. and no guard to speak of, so be cognizant of the proximity of your hand to the edge.

its a great slicer, and the edge should hold up very well. i have not sharpened mine yet.
 
It's a great slicer. As long as you're careful about where your fingers/hand is, it's great. It's pretty light & the blade shape is more useful than I originally thought.
 
I love my Little Lum and I use it pretty much weekly. I don't use it on a EDC basis, but I love it, and I use it around the house a lot. Also, I wear it for dressier occasions.

If it helps any, I have medium hands and the handle is the perfect size, I can get a full 4 finger grip with handle left over to move back on.
 
Don't own one, but handled one in the local knife store. Price too high or I would have picked it up - I like the overall shape and blade style. Handle is small if you have large hands - looks like it may develop hot spots with extended cutting tasks.

I was warned not to let the blade dull - apparently it is difficult to bring the edge back from the dead.
