Very nice!

The only thing I might offer is that the knife come with additional (separate from the sheath) attachment straps, so that a person could mount the sheath horizontally on their belt.

This will allow the Soldier / LEO to mount it horizontally for carry without a lot of user modification i.e. destruction of the sheath, by hotknifing the current pull the dot fastener straps off and using those. It also shows that Spyderco pays attention to the little things - e.g. it is always nice to get plastic cable ties with "stuff" if they are used for optional carry methods.

Will an instruction / history pamphlet be included? I seem to recall Ek knives used to do that. Nice sales literature, but more importantly as MAB32 pointed out - it is designed to be used in the "reverse grip." Too often, if someone uses a item incorrectly, they will not be satisfied with the performance and therefore "it is a piece of crap! I am never buying one again. You should not buy one."

Just my humble suggestions / questions.

Regardless, I am looking forward to the sales - the Filipinos will be jealous

V/R,
