Anyone have the Spyderco Kiwi Slipit?

This knife created a little excitement when we first heard about it but did anyone end up buying one? :D  I'm interested in what people think of it.

I'll be honest I don't own one (I prefer locking knives since I can in fact carry them), but I have handled a couple of different samples.  Very nice knives.  Fit and finish is similar to the Bug line, but since the grip is so much better from the molded handles it feels a lot nicer in the hand.

Pretty close.  The backspring is very stiff.  Definitely can't spyderdrop it.  I'm sure with some practice you could get it open one-handed, but I couldn't in ~5 minutes of playing.
