This is my new little fishy...what Blade HQ calls the HPA Grandair SWS Salmon Lockback Knife Blue G-10 (3.4" Satin).
When I bought this, the price was right, and they must have just dropped, or within a week or so, because I bought it from them at what I guess was a sale price of $79.00. The other options were black carbon fiber or green Micarta, both for $94.99. Had the blue G-10 nor been essentially $15 cheaper, before shipping, I'd have picked the Green Micarta.
But I'm happy enough with the blue. While I'm not the happiest with lock back knives (I would have preferred pure slip joint with half-stop detente) this still tickled my traditional bone.
Fit and finish are decent while not totally smooth. The ergos are not that impressive. The handle angles are a little sharp, and would benefit from a little softer rounding. Otherwise it's a nice little cutter, if a touch ordinary.
