tenacious arrived. fast shipping!
i like:
1. solid built. loud clicks and thunks and no freeplay. very nice.
2. is not as long and as heavy as i thought it would be.
3. changeable clip position is good thing.
4. the handle material
i dont like:
1. width of the blade.. suprisingly wide.
'
2. the thumb hole. too sharp edges, my thumb hurts for playing with it.
2.2 the thumb hole,ergonomics, my thumb is too short for comfortable opening.
3. could be lighter weight.
4. not as sharp i imagined all spydercos to be, sharp but not razor. hair on my arm are still fine.
5. needed to add oil for smoother action.
all in all.. i see why people rave its great value.
but the ergonomics of it makes it too hard for me to use with comfort.. it dont feel natural for me. so basically the size is the main thing i dont like.
its too big for me. noticed it after 4 tries to open it. i found the position where i want my hand to be after the blade is opened wont allow me to open it more than 90 or so degrees. so i must adjust my "natural" grip and open it and the re-adjust to use it. when in hand it feels nice. but opening it sucks.
now im torn. should i still keep it as my "destroyah all" knife and sharpen it.
or should i just put for sale. and just buy a delica instead. (or one of those byrd knives)
or call this experiment over, and buy another spring assisted knife. (as this was an experiment after all.. see if i like the thumb hole or do i prefer the springs.. and with this sample, i must say spring is good!)
