I just got it yesturday, so post split I guess!
Cool design really. Well thought out and executed...for $30! I've been itching for a beater for some reason and this is perfect..

I like the lines of the ESEE folder. May have to look into that one.

I'm with you Todd. It does look nice. And I am glad to see the thumb stud is very close to the scales when it is open. I just HATE it when the thumb stud is way out from the scales when the knife is open.
PERSONALLY I like the Spidy hole. Nothing to get in the way of cutting the entire blade length.

Never even seen one in real life, but I've heard the Spidy is NICE.

Yeah, you were right on the Rat- what a great folder and for $30? Crazy good knife.
The military is BIG...buy after the Rat, not too crazy and it's an interesting design.
