I picked one up in a trade recently, and it's found it's way into my EDC. Wearing carpenter style jeans, the knife fits in the leg pockets (easily found with a lanyard). Haven't tried as a necker yet due to the scales and lanyard on mine. Very handy for all the little tasks. Convex edge. Still working on a waist (horizontal) mount. Worthwhile purchase.

I have one, and like it. Its smaller than i originally imagined, and lighter. The bladed width is smaller than say and izula or bk11. The micarta handles are awesome and recommended. Fit and finish is great. The kydex sheath is nice as well.
Here is my only problem with the knife and sheath : It doesnt draw like normal. You may know that with a kydex sheath, one must (usually) use their thumb to use enough pressure to draw the knife from the good retention that kydex offers. however the way the guard is, it doesnt allow that. IF you try to draw with your thumb, the knife jams. However if you draw from underneath, its draws smoothly, same with neck carry and pull down drawing it draws smooth. It was strange for me to get used to since im a back pocket fixed blade carrier

I have one on order...I also thought it looked like a great little knife (154cm, convex grind, clip point) without micarta for 59.99. I was sold.
It appears to be a nicer knife than the Izula, and for the same money. Also looks like it will fit the hand extremely well, and be a great little carver, etc.
It will be a nice companion fixed to the sheath of my STS-8, another sweet knife that for some reason I don't hear much about, and is a lot of nicely convexed .3 thick 154cm for 209.00.
Clich, great pics, and more reassurance that I made a good choice.
I say order it..

Yeh strapped tip up it will draw with ease as you pull it down. When I wear mine as a necker I have no problems, just when its in my pocket and I'd like to draw it while leaving the sheath behind.

It's a pretty awesome blade, I've had mine for a couple months now and i'll be getting some handles for it shortly. I love it.
