[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1730705, member: 229"] Yeah, but there lies my conundrum. I don't have any collector-knives (anymore) and I use/carry everything I've got - but I can't bring myself to do that with this one, so I'm considering getting rid of it. It's a larger knife than it looks. It's also a Sprint-run of only 600 (or 1200 depending on what Spyderco decides). It's Para-2 sized and since I already have more than a few knives in that size that are pretty much my work-horses, I don't really see myself using this one since it's limited/pretty. But it's too large for my "sheeple" knife that I carry when in dress-clothes. If I whipped this out at Church, I'd probably have some heart-attacks to deal with. I hate that fact because it fits my hand so perfectly - it's thinner than my other knives that are about the same size, so it's an excellent slicer. When closed, the knife is overall very thin for its length, which does make it very pocket-friendly, but if I can't use it as a dress-knife, then I'll probably not use it at all (I don't see myself skinning a deer, or doing any roofing with this one). Then again, I can't make myself get in a hurry to sell it (again, because it's so perfect). It's strange that I use the hell out of my Sebenza (because there is literally thousands of them out there), but I can't seem to make myself do that with this R. [/QUOTE]
