My Mouse is Home!

Oh SpydieFriends! Its here! El Raton arrived at 3:54! Yippee! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I was just sitting here by the computer when I heard the blessed rumble of the "Big Brown Truck". Oh joy! I jumped up and nearly knocked my chair over as I ran to get my *treasure* from the UPS dude. Heh heh! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> You're right, Kahz and Lsualog, this baby ROCKS! This is my best knife purchase yet! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Welcome to the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>Mouse Club <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>Nut!

I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your "treasure". Just keep in mind, that Mouse has <b>very </b> sharp teeth! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Spydernut,

It's that nice, is it?

Congratz on the Mouse arrival!

I don't carry mine as often as I like. I typically put it in my coin/watch/knife pocket, but usually my Meerkat lives there. I really should pick up one of the Sastre neck sheaths, so I can have it with me everyday.

Nomaded:
My EDC is the Meerkat in the watchpocket. I really like it and is very functional for me. Still I am so tempted by "El Raton" but figure it would be redundant.

I'm already quite sold on the mouse design, but haven't acquired one yet.

How does it feel in the hand? It there enough handle there to get a good grip onto? Also, what is the overall thickness of the knife, without including the clip? I can't seem to find this information anywhere.

Thanks, Jeff/1911.

Ahhhhhhhhh... the pleasure of handling the Mouse... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
SpyderNut, I am sure you will enjoy this BEEOOTEEFOOL (ode to Chinook <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) knife! The Mouse rocks big time, it's well-designed, balanced, finished, etc. It's a real winner! I can't say enough about it, I keep saying it's a great knife, but there will never be enough words to describe how much I love/like this knife. It hasn't let me down yet, and I don't expect it will ever do so. It's the best small knife I have ever owned and I have no intentions of changing it! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Kahz, Mouse's #1 Fan and Official Giant Spyder of the New Millenium, LOL!

I love <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and rock and roll!

I got a Mouse back in November. Its one sweet knife alright. I couldn't believe how light it was and that edge...its like a friggin' scapel.

theGinsu - Thanks for the info.

Folks, with many of you so impressed by this knife; I haven't any doubt that I will be too. One thing that I think must be neat about the Mouse is that I'd imagine it's diminutive size would allow you to have it along just about anywhere, or anytime. Perhaps the Mouse might be the best choice for an "always" knife for this reason, as well as it's legendary cutting ability.

I am not reading any more about the mouse.I hope I don't run into one so I can handle it.I hope they are all sold out before I break down and have to have one.

Man I hope they have one at the gun show Sat.

Sorry J Smith, but it looks like you've been snared by one of the most infectious Spydie viruses out there. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Spydernut,

Well said, and with the current prices now would be a great time to succumb.

Jeff.

Jeff/1911 · #17

Oh for goodness sakes...now I've gone and ordered one too. Can't wait to get it!
