Very nice looking blade! Really like the arrow on the clip.

Looks damn nice. Just a little perspective from a lefty who hasn't held it; it appears you have a relief cut for thumb stud access for righties, it would be nice to see it cut for ambi use for us lefties and for those time when you're hanging on to something with your right hand and trying to manipulate the thumb stud with your left.

Also some thoughts on pocket clips. My knives inevitably get snagged on door framed, ladders, seat belts, and other things, this tends to bend and loosen the pocket clip and it is often difficult to bend it back completely to original.* As long as I am wearing jeans or thicker material for pants they all seem to hold ok after being bent slightly. If however I am wearing dressier pants or other thinner material my knives tend to become loose. I have found that pocket clips with U shaped bends like sog twitch, and darrel ralphs pockets clips are much more forgiving than those that are straight mounted.*I have managed to bend even titanium flat clips enough to cause issues.* The*U bend design can depending on*mounting and dimensions*drop the knife too low into the pocket causing difficulty with retrieval.* I have not had experience with heavier machined clips like the reeve mnandi uses or some other custom makers use, but they may also be a viable alternative to*straight thin*clips.

Great looking blade. I, too, like the arrow. Now I have to figure out how to sneak (another) one of your knives into the house.

The Spartan guys really did their homework to make this happen. Very well done.
About the left handed opening thing, hold your thoughts on it until you've handled it.

Awesome knife. Kind of afraid to see the price, though.

You get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get. The quality of a Spartan Knife is worth the price.

At BLADE the most heard comment was "So you guys used bearings?", it's is a very smooth action with good detents. As for the clip, if you hold it properly it makes a good North seeking arrow
