Praise for the new G10 Bug line (Grasshopper)

I'm shocked by how good this knife is, and I really wish I had tried one sooner.
I actually bought the all stainless model a couple months ago and then liked it so much I decided to get the G10 too and I like it even more.
I really like having a large and small knife, especially at work where knives aren't exactly allowed. Opening a box with a Grasshopper is a lot less polarizing than with a Military.
I like the change to 12C27 steel, but I would still be so interested in a sprint in other steels. Maybe since China are working with M4 in the Tenacious we can hope for a M4 Grasshopper?
I know I'm probably in a super small minority here but if you're the type that carries a small knife on your keys I think you should consider it. I'm not finding that I miss the lock when comparing to a Ladybug, and I get far more use out of the extra edge length even though it's only about 1/4 inch more it makes a difference on such a small knife.
I also prefer how thin the Grasshopper is compared to a Ladybug/Manbug, it clumps a lot less with the rest of your keys. On a Ladybug I usually make a small lanyard just to make it less clumpy but I don't need to with a Grasshopper.
If that's not enough it actually has slightly more edge length than a Dragonfly which I think is pretty impressive.

I’ve liked these since I saw the G-10 versions. I don’t have one yet, mostly because I’m not sure I would use it very much. I like the overall design and the blade shape, I just keep prioritizing other knives over this one! Maybe someday!
