After ripping some of the tricks from the dvd to my ipod touch, I slowly learned two of the four tricks well. I can do one more, but not too well, so I'll leave it at that. I does take a good while to practice. It took me a week to get one of the basic flips and from then on it was a little easier and then blend the two in order. As for the look, yes its a bit weird looking when working in an office environment, but it's a great time waster. My one gripe is that the stupid thing slips out of my hands waaay to easily. It's like I need to wrap the handles up on the grip. I bought one a few months ago and actually its pretty cool.

I don't know how it stacks up to the USA-made model, quality-wise. Spyderco is now offering a $10 black version made in China, if price is a primary concern.
