Heck, the mouse is a great knife at 60 bucks much less 40. I think you got a real steal. Enjoy it and don't worry about the handles, they are tougher than they look.

Aloha Disorder! (Once again I follow the master Dialex!!! Spooky)
Yes the MOUSE is a great little knife! I wanted one the first time I saw one but I was carrying my Co-Pilot ( Yes, I am an idiot, it was the Co-Pi w/brass liners!)at the time and was transferring most of my energies and $$$ into firearms.
Disorder: thanks for the heads up on the site! They don't have much of a Spydie selection,but I just got a sweet deal on a pair of BM's I've been looking for. A 942 Osborne for $55 and a Switchback for $70. Plus free shipping. You couldn't touch those deals on eBay.
I also have a Spyderco Wegner Mouse but I fear that I'm in the minority here. It is a very well made knife but I don't really like it very much. I prefer my Navigator over the Mouse by a large margin. Different tastes I suppose.

Got to agree with Easyrider, the Nav has it all the way. I have a Copilot, a Mouse and several Navigators (G10 and Almite). The Nav is a great EDC...fits the hand and does the job.
Like the Nav design but lets get real. Blade Tech G10 or CF, S30V steel, small skinner, maybe a hole even better than round spydie, fair price, I got it and I like it.
I finally got the Spyderco Mouse but haven't carried as yet because I am concerned that with it's short length that it will be easy to get unclipped from my pocket. How do most of you carry your's, clipped to the front pocket or just carried in the bottom of your pocket?
My Mouse clip is tight, it hasn't ever fallen out, but I also carry mine in a Mike Sastre neck sheath also. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
