I've wanted one of Yun's great creations for a long time, and finally pulled the trigger :cool:

A few specs:

Mini Hard 2

Blade is a San Mai construction with ZDP-189 at the core, laminated with ATS-34. 3" blade, 0.157" thick.
Overall length 7 1/2"
Frame 6Al4V Ti
Front side scale black and green G10
Ti pocket clip with some great heat color.

The knife in-hand feels perfect. The contour of the handle fits my hand very well. The choil works very well, and the knife is very comfortable in a choked-up grip, as well. Inverted grip, blade out is excellent. Inverted grip, blade in (icepick grip) is a bit uncomfortable, but very few folding knifes work well in this grip.
Texture on the G10 is nice and grippy, and I really appreciate the use of large diameter screws for construction. Grind and finish on the blade are excellent. Overall fit and finish are excellent!

I also really like the pouch provided. It is very well constructed, and I really like the quilted construction.

Enough blah, blah, blah .... Enjoy the pics! (Yun's, by the way, not mine) :)

Good score!

Been looking at his work for some time, I've got a question though, how do the finger grooves feel? Been a bit wary of having too many.

Nice.
I like the color and rough look.

I think ideally, it would be nice to be able to handle several before making the plunge. Its probably quite dependent on hand size which model would be best. I have small hands, and the Mini Hard fits perfectly. Really locks the knife into your grip. I love the finger grooves :cool:
