I really like mine. Small but fits my hand well. Great if you need to cut rope! Also great for emergency situations, but fortunately I've never needed it.

I love the yellow color and the low-maintenance design. No rust, no screws to come loose.

Mine has a bit of vertical blade play -- more than most of my spyderco back locks -- but it hasn't bothered me.

Two thumbs up.

The chunky and deep serrations are the best part of the knife.

Good buy.

Little more Saver porn...

I have fairly small hands, and the Saver just barely allows me a full 4 finger grip without using the 50/50 choil, but it feels better for me when I use it. That's not really a problem, at least not for me, I'm accustom to knives, like the Kiwi, where the choil is an essential feature and the Saver's choil a very good one.
For my own purely selfish reasons, I wish they made a PE version. Think it would be an excellent platform for a 3" wharncliffe.

A little OT, but I just got a Yellow PE Salt 1 in the mail I got for my dad as a wedding gift (lives on a boat in the Bahamas). Very impressed/jealous. It's my first Spyderco purchase in a while, but a Superhawk is in the mail from Knife Center as well.

big biter, watch your skin, these serration are hungry!
also is the handle black or yellow? my black saver has black handle so i guess the yellow has a yellow handle? the ebay pic doesnt show
