Great!

Was it a pain to make your hatchet-style thumb break sheath for a 6" blade?

And didja like that knife?

Sorry, bro. Missed your post. Didn't manage to make the PO when I meant to, but you should have it inhand Tomorrow or Wednesday.

It was a pain enough that you probably own the only one I'll ever do. Not really difficult as much as mind numbingly tedious. On that note, it takes a bit of technique to pop it in clean everytime. Just start with the spine of the tip where it goes and it should snap right into place.

I liked the blade style and material on the handle, but the finger grooves weren't lined up for my hand. Nice knife overall though. Still haven't had a minute to play the cord and locks, but I'm in love with the scalpel. Been using it to tape blades and it's so much nicer than a utility knife.

While I'm here I'm gonna lock this up as the 2011 model is done. Will post a couple pics of the new model and loop later.
