Just got mine in the mail yesterday. Good heavens I like this knife. The action is so nice. Those new ball bearings are amazing. When open there is absolutely no slop. Solid lock up both up and down and side to side. The detent is just a touch on the strong side, but it's perfect for the flicker/kick and even using the thumb stud isn't that hard, especially if you make sure to not put pressure on the frame-lock when trying to open. The thumb stud does spin in its place which is a nice touch to rotate with your thumb. The return detent (which I assume uses the same ball) is perfect. It comes back with exactly the right amount of momentum for a solid close and stays closed. You really have to fling it hard to get it to bounce back up after hitting closed. The titanium clip is actually nicer than I expected. It has a nice flex which is better than most of the steel clips I've had in the past that are super hard to get lock-jawed out of your pants. This knife is so light that you don't need that kind of clip strength. Though I wish it were a deep pocket clip. Speaking of which, I wish they had included a filler part for the top hole, where the clip can be placed for tip down carry. In all honesty I wish they had just made it tip up only without the option of moving it and pushed the clip mount up to where the spacer screw is to just use the same screw for both, making it a deeper clip and getting rid of the hole for tip down carry. Other than that hole, I love the aesthetics of this knife. Very sleek and the blade is perfectly centered. The stone washed finish on it is very fine grain. The frame is thinner than I thought too. Not quite as thin as Hinderer inspired blades but pretty close. It came decently sharp, but will need some touch up. The edge profile is a pretty good shape, but not the most consistent one I've seen before. But that'll all be fixed with a good sharpening.
This knife feels extremely well built, like it'll last forever. Definitely one of the best built folding knives I've ever used, and what a bargain it was.

I'm pretty sure it's for the blue model with the skull. That's the one I ordered and was cancelled.

I just got the drop status for this and it spacifficly says they placed the order for the Ki3404A3. It did not say anything about the A4. Just wondering if anyone ordered the A4 (blue skull model) and if you did were you notified that model was not available. Also wondering if the A4 was not going to be available and no one had ordered it yet if that was a reason they stopped this drop prematurely so there would not be any orders for the A4.

I'm going to try and anodize mine with 9 volt batteries to that color. It Seems pretty simple. Look up videos on how to do it on youtube.

I'm guessing that the removal of the pictures and option for the blue skull one is for future drops only. Probably won't effect our drop.

WolfentI'm very curious too. I also noticed the blue model option has been taken out of the description and its pictures removed. I hope there are no complications with this order now or ananything that will prolong the order. Would be nice for a Massdrop representative to clarify the reasoning for the early end and change to the description.
