I love the grind, I love the scale material, I love the maker, however I cannot warm up to the design. Hopefully it sells really well so we see more from Spyderco and Lion Steel.
Ha! Turns out the design grew on me and I picked up a slightly used model.

Mine is a 2nd, but I find it works very smoothly on all counts. The only thing I didn't like is that the spine of the blade looked a little dull. A little Flitz and some elbow grease gave it a more satin finish. It's more of a dress/lighter duty design, but I am liking it.

I like the design and love backlocks, but for me I need a finger choil or larger ricasso a la the Endura if it's going to be a backlock. I like one-handed closing so I need to be able to get my finger under easily when dropping it.
