Like Blade5 says, the proto pics look just like the real thing...with the exception of hte writing on the blade and the Pivot Pin and rivets that hold the G10 to the steel are different. With those minor differences, the blade shape looks the same.

Blade5 is right, the opening is super smooth and the blade is scary sharp....and I mean SHARP!!! Lock up is solid. I do find that the finger choil is a little big for my index finger...the choil was smaller on the Ronin. The handle on the Ronin fit my hand better than the Yojimbo, but the Yojimbo is...

I will be getting mine in the next few hours thru UPS...!!!!!!

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!Yojimbos are in and ready to ship..the factory outlet store is currently carrying them

Hello Saint,
Thanks for the link.

Is the New Gunting Available yet??

Does the Yojimbo have steel liners attached to the G10 or is it like the dodo which features only G10

Bram / Sal the 2004 spyderco catalogue states that the Gunting has been improved. Was there just a change of steel to S30V or was there also some tweaks to the compression lock design to further increase its strength (not that it needs it, since I have tried numerous times to make the lock on the tr...

I think the edge geometry, handle ergonomics, and cutting ability on the Ronin are amazing!!! But I have have a concern that the tip may break, has spyderco done any testing on this.
