Why isn't it a slipjoint, Leo?

Uh... okay, I guess it is essentially a slipjoint. A modern slipjoint, but a slipjoint nonetheless. When I hear slipjoint, I guess I instinctively think of the more traditional Case/Camillus/Queen style ones. For those who don't know much about Spyderco's slippie construction, I went and found some pics:

Thanks Leo.

Something to think about for folder construction.

I am tempted, I will see if it is still there in 2-3 weeks.

They're great knives Stewart. Leo, I've misplaced my UKPK. If I can't find it by this Saturday, I'd like to buy yours unless Stewart has first refusal.
