I recently traded for an Avalanche. WOuld also be interested in any experience folks have. I really like the knife. Only thing I'd change is to have a PE blade, instead of combo. So far, it seems to me to be a very well made knife. I much prefer the opening action on it, to that of the Whirlwind I also own.
One thing -- the G-10 handles are the grippiest of that material that I've handled. I love it.
