Really like this thin blade, was an absolute laser through a lot of that fiber woven brown packaging tape yesterday. The tip is so thin, punctures anything I cut with ease, no pressure needed. What a great design!

Almost missed your post, albeit I´ve asked and been really waiting for your impressions.
Maybe such posts by real knife users can help in making Spyderco consider offering more thinner bladed folders...(though again, to be fair: They are a "thin blade" company anyway already compared to other brands)
I am NOT saying that every folder should have a 2.50 or 2.00 blade stock, there are certainly reasons for thicker blades in general EDC knives!
But when it comes to pure cutting performance, and to folks who really use their knives mainly for traditionally
cutting stuff, imho midsize - to longer blades in thin stock are hard to beat.
And the Watu falls in that category, after all it offers a Manix-length cutting edge in performance oriented thin stock.
And so my second dream knife (my first has come true already with the ffg SE Pac Salt :)) would still be a Chaparral XL - I am sure a longer, 2.00 blade stock Spyderco (so even thinner than the Ẃatu or Delica) would perform great and still hold up just fine...
Also, the one thing I really would have hoped that the Endela would have taken from the Delica (since it was designed as a knife between Endura and Delica) is the 2.5 mm stock.
