I just got a Beluga which is a very similar knife with a 3" blade, just different blade shape and slightly different handle. It's probably next on MD's list but I got it for $40 *now*. It's a very compact knife but I can get an OK 4-finger grip on it, partly because the contoured handle is somewhat thick. The Thorn looks to have a similar front finger choil which is good because some people might not like the regular grip. The action is snappy on ceramic bearings (I took it apart) but perhaps because the blade is small the closing action is not as smooth as with the previous G10 models. The clip is mounted on a G10 pillar/standoff about 4mm tall which should accommodate thicker pockets although the tension is quite stiff. I haven't used it a lot but the 12C27 came super sharp and should be easy to touch up. Just wanted to share my thoughts if anyone was wondering whether to get the Thorn, albeit I'm reviewing it's brother the Beluga. For $40 I think it's a good deal...Bestech makes very high quality knives and it's nice they are offering something a little more compact.
