My knife arrived today (250 of 500) and it is absolutely gorgeous! It's got the sleekest most beautiful lines I've seen on a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. Now I know why Jeff equated it with sex... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Nice job Sal!

A Beautiful Knife... Forum 2002
I've got to say the Vesuvius has restored my faith in FRN as a handle material, mind you the twin full length steel nested liners don't hurt <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Love the inlaid bug, touch of class. And the open back makes cleaning a breeze.
I like the blade grinds, gives the thin blade pleanty of strength. Anyone notice the swedge is ground differently on each side ? On the forum inscription side the swedge is a rounded grind line, but on the other side the grind line is straight.
The only thing I did notice was that the thumb recess for the lock seemed a bit small, possibly it could be a bit bigger ?
There's a hole in the sky where the rain comes in, it's a very small hole that's why rain's so thin - In memory of the Goons

I've only had the Vesuvius for 2 days and already I want another one <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> .
I was really surprised at the quality and usefulness of this knife, mind you I should know better, I think this with every new Spydie :p
I've got the office side sorted with the Cricket, but was looking for a backup knife for when I thought I was going to be in the office and then got wisked out on site.
Thought it might have been a Native (love carrying it at weekends), but now think it might be a Combo Vesuvius.
