How do you like it so far ? I keep looking at the XL and think it possibly would be a nice back up . Really like the thin design and seems very pocket friendly . Dan

i haven't cut anything with it yet (except popping a couple hairs from my arm), so i can't comment on its performance.

things i like so far:
it's still very thin and compact, fitting nicely in a fifth pocket, but now slightly more hand filling and with a full grip.
i like the pointy tip. it's going to be great for whittling/carving, as previously showcased.
i think it's pretty cool to see spyderco do a modern take on a traditional style knife. the original roadie just feels like a small slip joint. the ukpk and lil native just feel like spydercos made into slip joints. the roadie xl, on the other hand, feels like a modern tradition knife made by spyderco.
i like having a slip joint in my collection, as well as something from the factory in italy. the roadie already accomplished this, but now i have a second one in the collection.
i like that it's a new steel for me to try. i've not had anything in m398 yet.
the taller blade shape means better geometry behind the edge also, so it's going to be a better slicer than the standard version.
it won't be replacing any of my larger edc knives, but it does work well as a backup.

honestly, when i first saw it, i thought it was a hideous upgrade to a knife that didn't need any upgrades. lb is wrong sometimes. its a sweet little knife.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.
current collection:
C191GP, C36GMCBK2, C11ZFRDBBK, C267BK, C36MCW2, C258YL, C253GBBK, C258GFBL, C101GBBK2, C11GYW, C11FWNB20CV, C101GBN15V2, C101GODFDE2, C60GGY, C149G, C189, C101GBN2, MT35, C211TI, C242CF, C217GSSF, C101BN2, C85G2, C91BBK, C142G, C122GBBK, LBK, LYL3HB, C193, C28YL2, C11ZPGYD, C41YL5, C252G, C130G, K08BK, PLKIT1
spyderco steels:

In my completely subjective opinion perhaps the best folder Spyderco makes these days (in SE, not necessarily PE, that is)

- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)

Besides an XL version of the Chap a serrated one is probably the Spydie I've been hoping and advocating for the most in the last years... and man, it turns out to be even better than I imagined (see also what others think in this thread viewtopic.php?t=96972)

I love how intertwined the history and design language was between the two companies.
