because some idiot judged that a locked penknife was in fact the same as a fixed blade

That said, the hole in the blade is a bit rough, there are machining marks visible inside it, but it definately has the finish where it needs it.
That's my EDC too, but it is a locker!
Kevin, the Spyderco UK range is simply one of the BEST out there, it has a modified (longer) basic spring lock, so it require far more effort to close (on your fingers that is). Get it you wont be disappointed! If your not happy - I WILL buy it off you I am that confident!
