I won, too. Well, actually my wife did and gave me her prizes. I got a ZDP Manbug, a beanie, and a bead. The Manbug really seems like a cool little knife. Makes my Dragonfly seem big. I often carry a Military, and I think the Manbug will be the perfect complement to it.

Mine is ever-so-slightly curved outward (and it's the new one with a steel insert). I actually didn't even notice until you posted your question. I'm guessing that's how they all are and this just is a consequence of added width with the steel insert.

Nice knife! Looks like they got the consistent coloration they were aiming for, but I'm not going to lie, I kind of dug the earlier ones that would have some blues, purples, and magentas. It gave them a bit of character and a custom feel. Either way, nice score and I look forward to getting mine so...

Pretty sure you could order that directly from Spyderco. The Native 5 clip is a shiny hourglass clip with a lanyard hole in it. I'd be surprised if it doesn't fit on the Stretch.

Grail obtained: Got my hands on a Fluted Ti Military!

I was extremely impressed by the knife from when I first saw pics of it online and now I finally got the elusive Fluted Ti Military at the Outdoor Retailer show here in SLC. I'll post pics of it when I get a chance. It's the newer version with a steel insert on the lock bar. It feels great in hand a...

If you're talking about March 5, that's cause for concern. If you ordered it April 5, this is a non-issue.

Depending on how much you're looking to spend, I vote for one of the FFG Delicas (friendly colors) or a Native 5.

That 1/4 inch is the difference between legal and illegal in a lot of places.

The only feature that really grabs me is the integral compression lock. I would definitely prefer it on a G10/Titanium (or G10/SS) Paramilitary 2.

I've tried (unsuccessfully) to get my wife to carry a pink Leek in her purse. I don't she'd carry any Spyderco, but I think a purple Delica would stand the best chance.

Thanks, Geoffrey. I get your meaning. I made it fat with a narrower portion near the middle since that's how I've seen bushcraft knives described.
