I got to look at one at last years meet-up (Mike's I think) and my initial impression was OK.  IIRC it was nice enough to open and close and was comfortable given the small size.  If you like the look of it, especially given the reasonable price, then I don't think you'd be disappointed. :)

Took the plunge and ordered one from Heinies!Very impressed with the service ,I placed the order on Sunday night,and as they were listed as being 7-10 days before having stock,I was prepared for a wait.It arrived today!

Lovely little knife.I'm so happy in fact,that I just ordered a Recom as well :oops:

Here's my 42



OHO is good considering it's a slipjoint. What more can I say, the subcom is a good blade, they just made it into a user for me by making it a slipjoint. Even non knife people like it's small size and shape.

I really like the original but didn't get on with the action on the slippie  :-\  Your mileage will hopefully vary :)
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I should add that Orange scale is not std. I had it made for me by a very nice man in the US dfor my subcom locker, then transfered it to my 42.

Well the Rescom has arrived as well.

I forgot to say, subcom 42 is now comes in Pink

http://www.heinnie.com/product.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=0&P_ID=7043

I asked my wife if see would like one for her Birthday, she said NO.

But my 9 yr old said she would like one, "not for now daddy, for when I'm older"

Clever these kids nowadays, very clever   ::)
