SP128GP: Leaf Storm
Spyderco
Why graphic artists make the leap to knifemaking is self explanatory. Their work in designing and creating art comingles with their knife passion, in some cases their knife obsession, blurring the lines between livelihood and hobby. American Kevin Wilkins started as a graphic designer and art student then an art director. He moved to Berlin in the early 90s where the knife bug really sank in. By 1995 he worked out how to make his hobby a livelihood and one of his favorite designs he called the Leaf Storm. Spyderco’s production version, like his original custom piece, fits and carries in the watch-pocket of a pair of denim jeans. It features a Chris Reeve style integral Lock with the back titanium handle scale doubling as the lock’s liner. Screw together construction attaches the titanium back to a natural colored G-10 front scale. A hollow-ground CPM®-S30V blade has a ricasso, spine jimping and is available in a PlainEdge.

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Lock Type, Handle Material, Weight, Blade Material, None
Cons: Ease of Opening
looks great, but fits the hand poorly
i love the look of the knife & the blade is great, but the handle is terrible. pros: the blade is awesome like you'd expect from spyderco. good steel, great shape, & super sharp. the blade opens easily with one hand but not really flickable. overall the knife is light but rock solid. cons: the handle shape is..poor. if you hold it where the finger groove is, the handle is short, uncomfortable & makes the blade hard to control. if you choke up & put your thumb on the jimping, you will cut your index finger - the handle has a slope that will push your finger onto the unprotected blade. the lock is a little sticky very disappointing

Cons: Lock Ease of Use, Ease of Opening
good but mine had some issues
Ergos for me were off a little. I have sage and native both felt better in my hand. 6 ft average hand size. Lock stuck and didn't release correct. Sent it back for the excellent native. Knifecenter was 5star service.
