As some of you remember, a short while ago, Allen had a contest to name the new knife he and Pat Crawford were collaborating on, and it wound up with Stompy winnging. I "won" as well, since EVERYONE, including Allen, missed Stompy's previous submission of the name, but Allen decided to send both of us knives, a really classy move.
Anyhow, here are some pictures of the knife that Allen sent me.

Notice how the G10 is seperate from the bolster lock, concealing it. The blue color here is the anodizing, lending a very cool air to the handles, especially when seen from an angle

The knife is very comfortable in the hand, and with the slight recurve it should slice pretty well.

The knife blade can be had in either DAMASTEEL or plain stainless. When opened and closed, the DAMASTEEL Blade has a weird "bumpy" feeling on the detent, which is kind of cool feeling
I like this knife. Even though it's designed as a user, I feel it's just too purty though, and I think I'll be keeping it pristine. As usual, it came with Allen's multi carry nylon sheath, which can be worn horizontally and vertically.
