Ordered on the 9th, delivered gratis on the 12th, from The Spyderco Store. First impression: Anatomical handle comfortable and stable in the forward and reverse grip.
Btw. how is the lock holding up for any of you? I am pretty dissapointed, I cannot get the knife to close 8 out of 10 times on the first try because the ball will not move more than a millimeter. I am pulling it with two hands straight back, but it will not budge.
I got mine a week ago from a local shop. As for the lock. Mine was hanging up on the ramp so I did the unthinkable and took it apart and sanded the ramp a little at an angle. I can now close it with just my thumb. If I were you I would send it in to Spyderco with a not explaining the problem and they will take care of it for you.
Another trick is to push the bearing straight back and not at a downward angle(towards the handle)...
