Could I bother you for a pic of the lock engagement and the spine?
 
Thanks for the quick reply! For some reason, I had it stuck in my head that the scale didn't have a liner. That's a beast for sure. I'd be all over it if it came in a larger size... like a 4.25" sharpened length.

BTW, is that a Submariner or a Sea Dweller? I have a Dweller.

edit: On the third time or so of drooling over the pics, I noticed one small fault. The cut out on the lock bar left IMHO way to little Ti on the bending area. Can anyone who owns a micrometer measure theirs? If you were to have a .125" Ti framelock with a cut out that leaves only .045" to take the beating you might as well have a .045" liner lock. This alone would keep me from buying it. If the flex spot was at least .060" then I could have a custom blade made in some CPM3V with more material on the thumb ramp (think Spyderco) and a small opening hole placed strategically so that 15 minutes of fine grinding turns it into a wave hook.

Its a Sub.
It feels bigger than most with 3.5 blade.

I think some photos of an earlier prototype didn't have a liner on the G-10 side.
 
I own one and it's unexpectedly grippy. All those edges between the "hot pressed' indents and the unpressed sections lends a super good grip to this knife. I was surprised a little bit.

Hi sweet_hitch-hiker -

I have been using mine for a couple of weeks now, and I really like that texturing.

I was thinking it might be hard to clean, but it cleans up really nice.

This one is build to last.

best regards -
