Here you go. next to a Leatherman ps4, Rough Rider Doctors knife, Wenger Patriot, and a Fenix E01 for size reference.

Thanks for that comparison pic mate, ive goe a doctors knife so can get a idea from the pic, what do you think of it, 

[Ashley]

I have one but no pics.

What do you think of it ash, i want a simple pocket knife like my opinels but something shinny  i read a review on it and all seems good, i know these are chinese made but that doesnt bother me as long as its well made, i read on HH that the kiwi is slighly better made but too me its fugly  the grasshopper seems the better sized of the 3 smaller spyderco's , i had a finch and found my hands too big to operate the OHO properly so i hope this is slightly easyer,

It's a good, solid knife. Very easy to sharpen. It has a rather thick spine compared to the Opinel so you get a stronger blade in the same size. I'm not a big fan of SS scales though so I stopped carrying it.

     i see it as a nice alternative to my opinels that i carry daily, well its on its way and we know HH as very quick     

[Zed]

Good old HH      how quick  . well first thoughts are very nice looking pocket knife, being ocd the finger prints will drive be nuts  also pretty stiff but solid, as for the OHO  cant do it, although no big issue, lovely solid knife, and fits nice in my hip pocket , 

next to my trusty opie #4

That's a cool knife.  I have its two smaller brothers, bug and honeybee, and while I definitively can't OHO the bug (the smallish), I can do it on the honeybee. Regardless, I think they just carry the spydercohole for tradition / trademark, as they aren't supposed to be OHO anyway.

I agree mate, although mine is still a little stiff and with a ziptie mod should open ok, but i dont need to open this one handed , cool little knife 

[Zed]

Well took it to work last night and found out how sharp it is  all i can say is be carefull closing it one handed , ive got the scare to prove it  it is a very cool little knife will it replace my opie #4  time will tell

I think the Opinel is a lot better looking

yeah in a more rustic kind of way  also the grasshopper looks more lethal than the opie, ill probably add the grasshopper to my pouch in my backpack as a spare blade, ill give it a few more days in my pocket and see
