Does anyone have this knife that can post some photos? It looks like a great blade, I was just wondering what everyone else thinks.
 
My first impressions are:
1. Sharp out of the box. Will slice paper.
2. Grip is excellent
3. Sheath is sort of weird
4. Good thickness.
5. I like 1095 over D2.
6. Quick in the hand.
7. Fits in the short Spec Ops Survival Sheath.

It's 1095 alright. It's probably got the best production Leather Sheath I have seen, but I'm not a huge fan of leather. It is a leather sheath with a leather tie down, and another leather thong strap to make the sheath jump capable, as it appears to be there to secure the blade further. The sheath itself attaches via a belt loop, or an included MOLLE/MALICE Clip. I will probably get this blade out to be tested more extensively soon.
 
Just got this in the mail.
First impressions:
Ground to fairly thin edge. Should slice well despite saber grind because it is relatively thin stock.
Rubber handle feels grippy but not tacky.
Sheath is decent.
Alternative to Fallkniven S1 for less money.

Sorry won't be able to test it right away.
