Just recently got the orange handled Urban. I'm really liking it, it's a great little knife. And I've really taken a liking to the wharcliffe blade.
but...
I own about a dozen Spydercos. This is my first Slipit. Everytime I go to close it, I press my thumb in the middle of the handle's spine, and then get confused when nothing moves.
Apparently my brain is stuck in lockback mode... :o

Been driving standard shift cars for years. Switched to an automatic nine months ago. Still find myself hunting for the clutch every now and then. :o Which is at least one of the reasons I stick with :spyder: 's lockbacks.

I love this little guy, but I keep doing that too. I hope they make one that locks, - larger would be nice also, but I really like this size, too.
- best wishes, Jazz.

A larger one with a lock back would be killer.How about the size of a Chinook.
