Ten bucks cheaper than the only other place it's sold, looks like a good deal to me!
This is a weird looking design in some ways, looks great for the few people who can carry a locking but not one handed knife, or need it to be small.
OmniseedIt seems like a decent size, but residents of Boston and Chicago could really use 0.2" less in blade length (2.5" is max here). I know there's a lot of us who would like a larger knife than the pelican, but this is juuuuust out of reach.
OmniseedYes there's a bunch actually: salsa, cat, leafstorm, etc. Spyderco launched a big small knife push a while back. I was thinking about picking up a lil' native (2.47" compression lock) I just wish the carry was a bit "deeper". I work in a business environment, so unless I'm actively opening things I like it to stay out of sight. Lots of good info here:

I just wish there were more options in this space, especially since there's quite a few places that require it (some cities, as well as all federal facilities). When I'm not in boston I've carried my Benchmade 470 for the last 6 years.
There's some stuff in this space, like the Kershaw Shuffle currently dropping. It's "sorta" deep carry, but if I pull that out people are gonna flip. Custom knives are a possability too: olamic busker for example, but I just keep looking at all these fancy knives that come out and they stick up like 1cm out of the pocket, and have to pass...
dorkvaderI'm happy that Maine typically has one set of knife laws, it is better than the headache of having super specific city carry requirements.
Especially at the arcane 2.5" limit.
