Nice! How’s the fit and finish on that backspacer compared to the stock one?

I'm not into the color blue myself, but that combination with the gray G-10 looks great Ju! Can't wait to receive my copy too.

This is such a great design of a knife. It has pushed out all other knives I’ve been carrying and it’s at the top of my list for Spyderco knives.

The blue looks nice but I like the Red back better.

Perfect fit. No sharp edges or anything like that. It seemed a little dry, so I actually oiled it before installing. Looks and feels great now.

Yellow would look cool, too. Really any color would pop against the light gray, I think. I'm really, really loving this knife!

Got my backspacers from Alistair in the mail today. I have red and blue. I'm going to put blue on the DLT exclusive. I want to pair the red with the CF scales.

Spyderco (darker) on the bottom. Alistair's original (brighter) color on the top.

Wow. This knife is amazing. The action, detent and ergos are spot on. I thought it would be hard to operate the compression lock because of the thinner width, but the rounded G-10 provides enough girth to make closing the lock a breeze. The smooth G-10 isn't as slippery as I thought it would be, probably due to the ergonomics of the handle. Flicks open nicely and drops shut like a dream. And it came shaving sharp out of the box.

I'm glad DLT decided to do this exclusive. It's a knife you really have to handle first before coming to any conclusion. And it's a knife that any knife nerd can fall in love with.

I’m starting to regret that I passed on this one… is there going to be another production run at some point? Being an Exclusive doesn’t mean it is a limited edition, right? The HH UKPK comes to mind.

Excited to get: UKPK Heinnie Haynes edition, Lil'Kapara (bring it on! :D )
