I have one. Put the first one I took out of the box and put it in my pocket. I absolutely love it. Flips like a champ, still big and overbuilt, but fits a little better in the pocket and cuts a ton better than my regular 24.

Great shot! I've been looking at these seriously hard lately...

I was going to wait for M390/204P/20CV, but then I thought about Hinderer's signal to noise ratio in his production schedule and grabbed the S35VN slicer while it's available. One bird in hand, two in bush, yadayadayada.
Nice knife. I was waiting for Hinderer to make a better ZT 0560 than Zero Tolerance and he came through. Very similar to 0560 except much better build quality and plusher, slightly longer handle. Nice fit between the G-10 and the liner.
Mine flips just so so, but I think I need to let it break in a little more, then clean and lube it.
It stays shut though when you shake it HARD, the blade stays in the handle.
Even though it's XM-24 sized, it fits in my right front pocket with my keys and I have no problem getting my hand in there. Tip up, blade to the pants seam carry.
I suppose the S on the fingerguard is important to collectors, but it looks kind of silly.
Don't let the XM-24 Skinny scare you off, the Spyderco Military is actually larger both in the blade and handle to my eye.
