Well, I'm not much in the market for a larger folder, but I do like drop-point smaller folders that comfortably fit in the corner of a pocket and clean deer or fingernails with equal ease. I've been using the Gerber LST, but I figured I'd give the Spectrum a shot, what with your recommendation of the company's products, and all.

I like the fact that they welcome their customers to open the knives up to clean them. There are few things a manufacturer can do to insult me more than to "factory-seal" an item, be it a carburator or laser printer. Maybe this is one of the little illogical things I hold against Glock, with its "do not strip beyond this point, unless you're an armorer" admonision. Probably keeps me out of a lot of trouble, but I don't like being saved from myself! C'mon, can these things be trickier than Series '80 1911 firing pin lockups? (grin)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to my Spectrum. I neverorder anything on the 'net, so this is an adventure for me!
