I just received my new Spyderco Woodlander today and all I can say is Wow! A knife this nice and at this price deserves better packaging but once the box goes in the closet with all the other knife boxes it doesn’t matter. I've heard that some were not happy with the sheath but mine holds the knife very firmly with no play at all even if I hold it upside down and shake it. The feel of this knife in the hand is incredible and exactly what I have come to expect from a knife designed by Jerry Hossom. I do have a question, I’ve seen on other forums were Mr. Hossom says that these knives come with a convex edge yet the Spyderco website says they are flat ground. It appears to my somewhat poor vision (time for new glasses) that this knife is flat ground and very, very sharp at that. If this is convex it is the thinnest, sharpest convex edge I’ve ever seen. I know that I have a magnifying glass around here somewhere but I was hoping that someone could clear this up for me. I’ll be using the Woodlander this weekend and I wouldn’t want to touch it up on my Sharpmaker if the edge is convex. I can’t wait to get this beautiful blade out in the woods.
 
Here's an eye enhancement for you:D
