Now THAT

I like the various Tiffany blues that release so it's still awesome despite I'd wanted one of those smoothed micarta with cool raindrop/topo theme, the Microbe is still a design achievement triumph. My hands count as medium but usually wear large men's glove size (average size man unaffiliated with sports), excellent getting it as small as possible and still have a 4-finger chokeup grip with this choil that's as warmly welcoming as a hobbit house. I love top liner locks even when they have enough stick to make a double-click noise on unlock, cool D-shaped button with "safety vest" reflect silver effect; look at that spineline, look at that diminutive yet efficient blade. Apparently they also released flick hole version but this is with thumb studs, preferable in this case. I might remember hearing the name Maxime Epifantsev but as a mini-EDC enthusiast the Microbe is a jump-slam of a win so he's now the guy that designed the Kizer Microbe. Thanks to them for keeping it affordable
