I like the look, really like the liner insert, but it's too damn big for a slipjoint, and I really think every slipjoint made from now on uses the spyderco kiwi trick of giving it a lockup based on your grip

This is the best slipjoint knife ever made, IMO. I wish they'd bring it back, I would buy another as a spare in case i ever lost mine in a heartbeat. This is always in my uniform breast pocket.
That's really cool, but it is a locker, and the design of the kiwi is kind of flawless. You can pull straight on the little "eye" and the blade deploys, your finger locks the blade out, and it's sized small enough that it's just super convenient.
It's not a "do it all" knife, but a backup blade for precise cutting, or a little knife for whittling or cutting up fruit or opening boxes. I keep a manix 2 on M4 on hand for my normal stuff, and the kiwi is my knife for when I need to cut up food or open packaging.
Has anyone else had theirs apart yet?
( @reswright, @Evshrug? )
I ask because when I tore mine down i found 1 black washer and 1 copper washer on the "back" side, and 1 black washer with 2 copper washers on the "show" side.
Figured it was just a mistake, 2 got stuck together and installed, no biggie....but when I put it back together, with the extra one removed, it seems like the spacing is off without it.
Just curious if it's the same on others
To be honest, i haven't really used it at all yet.
I bought it with the intention of using while camping, and haven't gone since lol
Seems like a well made knife, i think it will do the job nicely. Though I do wish the handle was much lighter for better balance
Just a bit disappointed, I send two mails to drop, to show that the blue luminous backspacer as mentionned in description is more glow.
They don't give me explication.
gui3guiI don't understand what you're trying to say?
There are no pics of the spine in daylight, but that's pretty much what I expected it was going to look like
Great reviews in the review section.
It seems like the folks who have received and used theirs love them and are really passionate about them. Lots of great pics!
