Anybody got one?
I like the looks, the size, the shape, and the steel. I'd like to hear opinions from people who own, or at least have handled one.
Temptation is strong...

Mine is handled in pearl. It's been in my pocket since I picked it up several months ago. I've used it for nearly every conceivable purpose you can name including letter opening, box opening, splinter picking, bush trimming, food prep etc etc etc. The VG10 is like the bunny...it just keeps going and going and going. I really like the reversible thumber and clip as I'm a lefty and the blessing of an ambidextrous design is a real addition. I carry mine in my shirt pocket during the business day and it draws ZERO attention, even in the public school where I teach. The modified Wharncliff blade design is just perfect, IMO, for a gent's knife. Fit and finish is exceptional as is everything I've ever seen from Moki. This one does W/H very proud indeed. I don't think you can go wrong if you're looking for a rugged, yet elegant, super sharp gent's type knife. :D
 
It is a great little knife, but I sold mine to Mike (see above) because I already had a William Henry Monarch, which is just a tad larger, and I prefer the button lock.

I always love the stuff from Moki - they are really outstanding knifemakers.
 
I've had my eye on the Spire for awhile now. With these glowing reports it's shot to the top of my must have list. Thanks guys!

I've been thinking seriously about adding the Spire to my "Gent's" knife line-up. I especially like the Black Lip Pearl model. I guess the clip can be removed, correct?
 
That is a nice looking knife. I've had my eye on TNK's exclusive William Henry for a long time. so many knives, so little money left :(

Clip can be completely removed. IMO, it looks a little "vacant" back there with that big, empty hole. The button lock models suffer from the same design characteristic, but tying a lanyard through there, even a small one, makes it look pretty good.
 
With only a 2+ inch blade... how is it in your hand? Any pics of holding on to one of these. How wide and thick is the handle and blade? Thanks.. I just really want one of these but don't want to be disapointed.
 
Here ya go, this is my personal edc at the moment, they are very nice, about the size and quality of an Al Mar Hawk.

Well no doubt they look better in person, than they do in those "stock" images. I think it may be a little to small for me. Only way to know is to buy one.
