Same here! Just received this beauty last week.

It’s a model 4.5 in 3V. What model is yours?

Mine is a model 4 in 3v and I have the model 11 in 3v and model 4.5 in both aeb-l and 3v on order.

I scored the pathfinder in a recent dlt drop. That was a leisurely stroll in the park compared to CPK sales! Lol

It's a huge knife. It's more like a small sword with a 12 inch blade made of quarter inch stock. I think that's close to the same size as the behemoth or behemother. The handle is on the thicker side of things. Small hands won't like it.

What's interesting is that the blade height (edge to spine) is nearly three inches (2.875-ish aka 2 7/8) so it's pretty thin yowards the edge. It's much better at cutting/slicing than you may expect.

I haven't chopped with it yet, but plan to test it on some 2x4s this week.

^ That thing is huge! Imma thinking it will go in about 1.5"+ with one swing on a 2x4. Post some pics of the beating. What does that weigh and will you be daily carrying it?

It's right around 2 pounds. I think it's like 32.7 ounces. It doesn't feel very heavy though because the weight is distributed across the full 18 inch length.

I even had my wife hold it and swing it. She was surprised how light it felt.

The balance point is about 1.25 inches in front of the guard, so it's reasonable, but I wouldn't use it for chopping without a lanyard.

Waking up my MountainMandu

I've wondered this in the past and am now reminded. How big are your hands? The handle on your mallet looks like it's ~4" in diameter.
