Well. My copy of the 2445ST arrived just this Saturday, in perfect condition in its Oregon-marked envelope.
And now I must leave the area for 2 - 4 weeks on business.:grumpy:
So ... I feel I should make some initial comments before I depart, especially since I cannot take the knife where I'm going. I hope the OP doesn't get too upset that I add my few comments to his excellent review; he and several others have already done an EXCELLENT job of describing the virtues of this little folder.
A final thanks to Thomas W as I head off for a mini-campaign. I shall pick up the 2445ST on my return ... and start slicing.
Au Revoir, all.
