Im going to need a second as a user! This thing is beauteous! Haven't heard much mention of how smooth and gratifying the scales feel, but they're sooo nice! Fortunately, mine showed up a day earlier than tracking had estimated so here it is! and I lucked out with a really cool serial number! #0123...

0234 here!

A question like this really makes one reconsider and appreciate what they own!

1. PM2 M390 (No explanation necessary)
2. CF Dodo (Too useful for it's size)
3. Advocate (I know it's early to say that, but it's already displaced my GB2, which would have otherwise held this spot.)

Owning all of them, I personally woud say the Advocate. They are all excellent knives, to be sure. You would obviously get more bang for your buck if you went the GB2+Mantra route, and I'm sure you would be happy there as well, but personally, the Advocate checks all the boxes I need in an EDC. It's...

I just picked mine up today. It's truly awesome having a dealer nearby! (River's Edge Cutlery in Dublin, OH) I love nearly everything about it. I'm a huge fan of M4, and even more so of Gayle Bradley's simplistic, 'made for the job' designs. Just a few observations after initial day of carrying/use:...

Comparison to PM2. Best I can do at the moment

I like mine. I think it's reasonable to warn people to temper their expectations, though. It seems less a kitchen knife due to size and angle. Holding it as a paring knife is dangerous, as you'd place your finger on the spine for control, which is a no-no. Push cutting feels wrong due to the angle. ...

Picked up the Magnitude and Chef just a few minutes ago. I'll post a few picks later today, maybe even a comparison of the Magnitude next to the Rubicon. Gotta say, I only went to pick up my much anticipated Chef. Wasn't planning on even picking up a Magnitude until I wrapped my hand around it. Only...

Jester and 52100 Millie. 1st Millie, and man, have I been missing out!

I've been waiting for my 'thumbs up' e-mail, getting nervous... until I just now realized it hit my junk box half an hour ago. Haha! Now comes the hard part. Also, high-five to Blade HQ for taking a sizeable unexpected problem, solving it quickly and instilling confidence in those consumers who were...

In stock again - keep getting tempted to snag a 2nd, but... nah. I have waaaay too many Spydies to start doing duplicates.

That swift response and affirmation shows quality customer care. Impressive!

Yes, I got an error too, now. I know my card is well beyond good, and verified the details. Customer service line is tied up, so guessing this is a big issue... yeesh, they probably couldn't process all the simultaneous charges. Anybody have luck getting through yet?

This was an awesome way to launch an exclusive - notification, countdown, started right on time, and they obviously had plenty of stock ready.
I've only ever ordered once from BladeHQ - is it not official til I get my e-mail? I got the confirmation web page at 12:01...

I want to echo an above post about watching lesser known sites - they don't have the same advertisement capabilities, and go unnoticed for longer. River's Edge Cutlery got 3 on Monday, which actually lasted a few hours (I know, because they called me and I happily drove up there to buy one!) I've se...

Picked one up today myself. Really love the blade profile, nothing new there. Problem is after being spoiled with designs like the Dodo, Meerkat and Lava, I have a harder time using handles where my pinky floats off the back end. I'll fix that with a lanyard and it'll be the 1st knife in a long whil...

As the Tasman Salt was my 1st Spyderco I ever saw, held and purchased, hawkbills will always hold a special place with me. As for practicality, it is one of the few knife configurations I feel comfortable/proficient with in my non-dominant (left) hand. In a reverse grip, it feels as natural in my le...

Pics - as good as I can do from my phone/tablet right now.

Read all of this in one sitting - that is really awesome of you for taking all the time and dedication to do this! I'm constantly considering rotating mine on a daily basis, but I start to get the shakes if I stay away from some of my normal EDC's lol... It's cool to see someone else do it, and with...
