On my prototype Vesuvius I find one "nit" to pick, which could be fixed before it goes into production. The clip holes are drilled so that the pocket clip is tangent to the bottom of the right handle scale. If they were realligned a couple of degrees or so, the clip would be parallel to the spine and farther from where your right index finger goes when you're using the knife, or farther from your thumb if you're opening it left-handed.
And, as long as I have clips on my mind, take a look at the titanium clip on the William Henry in the scan. Besides being skeletonized (cosmetic) and purple (would go nicely with one or two of the "Seachange G10" variants), it is slender and it is rounded from being tumbled prior to anodizing and assembly. It is more comfortable in the using hand than the ordinary pocket clip.
How about coaxing and rewarding William Henry to make or license a three-screw version of their clip, for the Vesuvius and/or other Spydercos with the same screw-hole arrangement, possibly as an after-market accessory?
