This is my 1st Japanese made Spyderco and it's been quite impressive. The tolerances are incredible and even though it's a lock back, it thumb & finger flicks easily. The fit and finish are superb. The ergonomics are neutral and I love the jimping on the blade spine. This thing is sharp out of the box.
As usual, the knife ships no later than next business day and the only time it's not gotten to me within the shipping time range has been on the shipper, not White Mountain Knives. Some other larger competitors might take 3 or more days just to ship a knife but not White Mountain. Thanks for a great experience!
