Just got this in today, was made to order, and it's a lot of knife. Closed length is 5-3/8", open is 9-5/8". Handles and backspacer are both rough textured jade green G10. Blade is satin finished spear point. Does not open with the typical Dalton "thwack" but opening is silky smooth and there is absolutely no blade play. It almost feels like a fixed blade, lockup is that solid. I have not seen a pivot like this one, there are button head allen screws on both sides of the pivot. As for aesthetics, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and frankly I prefer Dalton's production models. So, I would like to trade this for another Dalton and will add cash if trading up. Sale price is $185, which includes shipping, insurance, and Paypal fees.
