I like the design but the lock doesn't work so well for me as a lefty, closing the knife forces my fingers into a very compromising situation so it didn't fit my intended role as a quick open/close folder for work use.

From a functional standpoint, it works exactly like you think it would. Big, comfy handle with a large front handle choil for control and the ability to choke up for fine work.

It does have a reverse design cue from most Spydercos though. The middle and ring finger are pushed out by the handle (most Spyderco designs suck them in) and control mainly comes from the wrist, when gripped normally. A different sensation that works fine but is a little unusual. The pocket clip could be a little shorter but that's more preferential than anything else.

Being a wharncliffe type pattern the blade cuts very well and has an extremely fine point. Steel is S30V, which is very good and the profile makes it easy to sharpen and maintain.

I was really sad to see the Yojimbo go, like the Dodo it had too much handle and not enough blade for the average knife buyer and just wasn't understood by a lot of prospective users. One could argue that the reason we have the Cats/Chicagos right now is because not many wanted to buy a short-bladed knife with a regular size handle, the market will dictate. Which is a shame because the Dodo form factor just isn't seen and would be a valuable asset to the modern, politically concious knife user. Now that Michael Janich is back with Spyderco I would seriously consider buying another if there was a Sprint Run.

Sorry for the rant. :)

Here's a post with some pics on my blog.

Thanks for the rant! Thats what I was interested in. I would love to try a Yohimbo as well as a Dodo. Though many find them homely, I see them as beautifully functional designs. I like Wharncliff designs for cutting along straight edges and fine work. I have really enjoyed my Kershaw Needs Work ( another knife considered ugly), as well as my little Boker Wharcom.
Maybe when I get my kids through college I can invest in some more knives ;)

Have bought, sold then rebought both the large and small BM Skirmish and the Spyderco ATR. I have owned multiple variations of the Carson-designed flippers (M16, M18) from CRKT but I'm just down to one after selling and giving away the rest.

I still have
2 550 Griptilians (one with Wilkins grip)
several different variations of Enduras and Delicas
2 Caly 3's (PE,SE)
3 Manix 2's (SE,PE,S90V)
2 BM 750 Pinnacles (thin and thick lock variations)
2 BM 806D2
4 Beretta Loveless zytel dropped point hunters- would be 5 but a dog stole my original one
a bunch of John Primble/Belknap Hardware peanuts
several Mora Clippers
several Mora Craftsman (Craftsmen?)

I'll probably remember others as soon as I post this.
 
3 leatherman charge ti
2 buck mayo tnt 172

These days when you find something you like you have to buy them in the twos because as sure as the world it will rapidly be discontinued and your sol.

All of my guns are bought in pairs. i.e. two hk usp tactical .45's, two Beretta model 90-two, etc. You'll have to have one for parts because sooner or later their going to ban the sale of them, so you'll basically have to have a second for parts. I'm not the only person who thinks like this all of my buddies operate on the firearms side of the ball with the same philosophy. Its expensive as hell but its the only way to ensure you'll have operating gear going forward, IMHO. Oh also have numerous multiples of surefire flashlights, G2 and D3 which is the 6P with a clip, yea they discontinued it.
 
Always end up buying Millies after I sell them. I have also re-brought BM42's CRK's and Striders
 
i have a kershaw skyline, in stainless, and like it so much i would like to get a damascus version sometime. its a great edc at an even better price.
 
Since I primarily buy only custom knives, I really don't buy the same knife twice. What I DO do, is buy more than one type of knife from the same maker. For example, I have bought 6 Bob Terzuola knives, 2 DDR's, 2 Mayo's, 3 Yuna's etc.
 
2 Spyderco Dallaras, mulitiple Enduras and Delicas, 3 Police models, 2 Swisstools, every Ontario RAT 1 folder.
