CAT! a taster

[ABX2011]

Oh, I don't have one yet. I reserved one from a dealer today. I'm just always a little wary of the Walker liner lock. I was curious to hear if the lock engages towards the left, if there's any stickiness, etc.

The CF is flat, smooth, and shiny.

The lock on my particular example is perfect functionally. It feels a little weird to me as the tang is pretty deep into the handle so there's a lot of liner sticking up above it. As such it's a less direct feel. Kind of hard to describe.

Also, the grooving/texturing/jimping whatever you want to call it on the thumb ramp and choil are somewhat less than crisply machined.

Where do you guys buy it from? The only place I can find it listed is KC and they say it's not in till Jan 2010.

My Dealer in Torornto said that they are makin a new batch of cats and chicagos and thell be in in a while . That could mean a month or 2 .

I really love sage, and i'm sure that this will be a perfect sustitute for it. I like small knives

Sure wish I had mine right now.
Had to send it back to factory for warranty issues.
Wish they would hurry up. :cool:

I wonder if Spyderco recalled a bunch of these due to these multiple reported quality control issues? Just seems odd that it would take a dealer 3 months to get another shipment.

That "taster" in the title was bugging me - just remembered that it's the title of a Wild Man Fisher song.

I'm just as glad I have to wait for the second batch. Hopefully they'll fix the F&F issues.
