Just thought I'd see if anyone was actually interested in a full review of the "new and improved" Satu before I went ahead and typed it all out.

Per BladeCommander's suggestion in this thread, http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...p-me-pick-out-the-most-bad-ass-FULL-TI-folder! I have decided to purchase a brand new Grayman Satu in full ti. After doing a little research, I found out they changed a few major things from the original design. I don't have it yet, but I know they corrected the sizing issues with the pivot bushing, so there shouldn't be any blade play, and they use cpm20cv now instead of s30v, which is kind of neat. They also sharpen their edges smooth now instead of toothy, which is also great. I haven't seen many of these "new" style Grayman Satus floating around the forums, and I imagine it's either because too few know it's been upgraded, or because too few know the Satu exists in the first place. For a .210 thick 4.25" cpm20cv blade sitting on two 3/16 6al4v titanium slabs, I thought $390 was a great price considering most of the competition in the same dimensions or larger are $600+. Additionally, none of the other monsters I've seen are made with 20cv... However, whether or not this knife is truly a good alternative to some of it's more expensive competitors remains to be seen. If anyone is interested in a review of this "budget friendly" (i say that lightly) monster titanium folder, I'd be happy to do one when it gets here Thursday/Friday :). (Edit* might be Saturday or Sunday by the time I get around to it. 12 hour work days Friday and Saturday). If not, it won't hurt my feelings if no one cares lol. Let me know what you think.

Below are some pictures I pulled from google for anyone who is unfamiliar with the knife.

That's a beast, for sure. Looks nice. And, yes, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it, after you use and examine it.
 
I, too, would like to hear your thoughts on it. Looks like a monster. That knife kind of fell of my radar but I remember hearing nothing but good things about it, aside from the toothy edge that some didn't much care for. It sounds like they addressed their issues and listened to the community which is always cool to hear.
 
I read your review. Very awesome and very comprehensive. I really like your format as well. Easy to read and well thought out. Wish I could buy you a beer. :thumbup:
 
Glad you liked it. I was very impressed with the Dua I had.
Sad to see it go, but alas, the Dua did not last long in my hands either.

Saw the pics of the choil mod in the review thread and was very pleasantly surprised how well it looked. Very classy mod that I would have considered for my Dua.

Here is a quick pic of the smaller DUA in relation to the TSF Beast. Personally I favored the Dua over the Beast, but both are now gone.
