Star-lite Tactical Folder that I just received. I'm loving the blade, the G10 used for the grip has a very nice feel to it, and the knife seems very well designed overall.

Hogue makes some pretty sweet blades, imo.

Those look pretty sweet. I don't know if I would pay the $80 difference between what that site shows and what I can get a regular EX-01 for though. $20-$40 maybe.
 
I love the EX-01's and have had a few over the years. Did Wilson do anything to balance the knives more than a vanilla Hogue?
 
Absolutely love the look of the Starlight but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to justify the price difference to myself. Looks so sweet though!
 
I'd be up for it if they did a change up on the blade steel or something. $80 more just for some added grinding on the scales?
 
Love this as well! So much so that i have both configurations, the other being black G-mascus G10.... although the Wilson Starlight takes it up a notch IMHO. :thumbup:
 
Great looking folder that I've drooled over before. How does it feel in hand?

It feels really nice, the G10 is surprisingly grippy, and the entire knife in general is lighter than I'd expected. Has great action for flipping it open, and the extra locking mechanism is a nice touch for extended use.

I understand those who say that they don't want to pay a "styling" surcharge... but I think it's drop-dead gorgeous, and very functional. I have a WC gun on order with the same starburst G10 grips, so.... :)
 
It's a beautiful and very apt knife - congratulations on a very nice acquistion! ;)
