i have owned the spydie D'ALLARA for awhile now.mine is a put up piece.i bought it with the intentions of not using it and keeping it up.its a dedication knife. dedicated to a NYPD officer who entered the TOWERS on 9-11 but did not come out.this officer owned almost every spyderco model released. 

anyway here is a link to a great article i found on the knife,man,and an all over very awesome review of the knife.
