Now I know what all the hype was about the sheepdog series knives! This is a Awesome knife that with the whole deployment is much better in the mini side. You have much more room on the handle without the flipper tab! The all black version is perfect. Fun knife to spydey flick. Great materials! This knife got to me in So. Calif. in 2 and a half days! Same with the last knife I ordered from WMK! Thanks to Justin and Staff at WMK. Dominick

I like the blade-hole much better that the flipper on this model. The flipper tab seemed to interfere with close work. The black micarta is done well and looks like it will hold up over time. Finally, I'm glad Kizer didn't put a titanium clip on this knife - it would just add to the cost and wouldn't look (or function) as well as the spring steel clip. Great alternative to the original Sheepdog!

It is everything that I liked about the sheepdog mini with the one change that made it work my with hands.

Amazing knife, micarta is well done, love the thumbhole opening. The flipper was the only thing preventing me from getting a sheepdog but this seems to be the perfect version for me.
