I'm feeling tempted to the Kiwi after seeing one in a local hardware shop.

Anybody own one?What do you think of them?

Nope, but I do have the Grasshopper and I believe they are built to the same standard.  If that's true then the Kiwi should be a good little knife, though I have heard they are tricky to OHO.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

I watched a YouTube video ages ago comparing the kiwi vs the grasshopper ,i remember correctly the handles are a bit longer on the kiwi ,i personaly prefer the look of the hopper and a great little knife but I'm sure the kiwi is a well made knife John  :salute:

Never tried one, but never really had the urge to try one either. It's something about the look .... there's just something .... wrong about them  :think: :-\
