NICE photos there!!! makes mine look, well, not so nice but you can still get a hint of how well made this folder is...
Mine arrived today, beauty, held off getting one due to how thick a blade it had, but was finally swayed :)

When thinking of the words "love at first sight," the Techno comes to mind. :) I've yet to find a knife that fits my every-day needs more perfectly than my Techno. It carries beautifully in my pocket too. In fact, I hardly know it's even there most of the time. I could probably ramble on about the Techno and its features for forever, but I think you get the gist. I simply love this solid "little-big" knife. :D

I love love love my Techno as well. It gets the most time in my pocket by far, probably 80-90% with a little PM2 action on the side. My favorite spydie so far.

^ awesome photo man! I love my Techno as cool. Such a cool little knife. I have a small Sebenza which I LOVE, but the Techno is so **** cool it might overtake that as EDC. Don't have any cool photos, but I do have the Cuscadi orange backspacer. I haven't put it on yet and not sure when I will...don't want to ruin that warranty just yet.
This is kind of a weird question, but did everyone's Techno come in a cut open plastic? I bought mine from HKS and was just wondering if they came from the factory in a cut open plastic or it's supposed to be sealed. I saw that tuffthumbz on YT has the same cut open plastic.

I've beat the snot out of my Techno. The abuse makes me shameful but also a little prideful to know I don't baby the thing.
One thing I have learned from the Techno is that I'll probably never buy a stonewashed blade again as a user or EDC. Blame my sloppy inattentive sharpening but my Techno now has a zebra stripes from the stone corners.
Regardless, I love the steel, FnF, and handle material. Great knife all around, mine just isn't so pretty any more. A model of true beausage.

Mine came sealed in the plastic from Howes. It also has a darker clip than an earlier Techno I had.dub wrote:^

My Techno has been a daily companion for months, and I'm liking it more and more.

I was worried that there wouldn't be enough of the spyder hole available on the lockbar side to still index finger flip but I can JUST make it
She's a dandy alright for sure, while mine arrived pretty sharp, toothy sharp, it's not as sharp as I have my Tenacious right now, but I know it will be once I've sharpened it on the edge pro, BUT I kinda like the toothy edge and will use that for a while.
Sal, I'd love to see a short video of someone showing how you guys sharpen your knives, I figure it's on a belt sander? This one had a burr on one side but was easy to cure and strop.

I wonder if they're from different runs? All of the unboxing videos that I saw on YT showed them not sealed in the plastic. But I had one earlier that came sealed. A newer one I have came unsealed.tvhaugen wrote:Mine came sealed in the plastic from Howes. It also has a darker clip than an earlier Techno I had.
I'm just wondering if it's something from the factory or something that the shops do to make sure everything is okay before shipping? Mine still looked brand new of course, I was just wondering.
