This is excellent design, but this is not a small knife. It's not even a medium-sized one. I have big hands and A) appreciate all the extra real estate, and B) don't mind the little bit of extra weight. But it's smooth, it has gorgeous lines and is something I'm happy to carry, hopefully for many years to come.
When locked it takes both hands to release. I will reach out and see what Spyderco warranty is like, but frustrating for a new knife that’s at this price point.
