Got mine with the hole.
Required 5-6 manual closing before the scratchiness sound abated and smoothed out to a clean closing.
Opened a box and the edge is quite soft, unfortunately.
Stropping helped but I think I will find the time to put my own edge on it and see how it works out.
Super thin. Certainly disappears in the pocket.
As many have said before a deep carry clip would be the better choice.

I received my solid washers yesterday (Saturday).
After several weeks of carrying I am really loving it more and more.
Very slim, and if you just pocket the thing, you'll see how it shines.
Flicking it open is addictive I will warn you.
Nice pictures of the thumb-hole version!
WD, GT and my FD p/u, a CS PBM.
;p

My thumb-hole version arrived late last week. I am impressed and quite surprised just how light and thin it is! 
I wasn’t prepared for such a dainty Busse!!! 
Seriously though, it disappears in the pocket. Nearly as light as a Spyderco PM2 lightweight…
(Apologies for the terrible pics on the scale.)
This shows *just* how thin it really is!!!
