Well Jack Jack Black , should that happen this'll give you an idea how things will be with the knife in the company of King Neptune as displayed by my knife and my Shellback coin with Neptunus Rex at the helm.

I love the knife and coin. I was 10 nm from earning my shellback. It was super disappointing

Appreciating the beautiful cover...

A very cool coin Ed, and your #86 looks good with it

You should have matched the font for verisimilitude.

You don't have your BF default display set to French Script? So disappointing...you should try it, makes the place so much classier

I actually do because I am very fancy. But the bolster is cursive and the tang stamp is print. Who signed off on that proof?

Pretty sure you did, I distinctly remember you "liking" the drawing

Was that a proof? I didn't know you needed notes. Lesson learned.

Mine arrived on Thursday but I couldn’t remember my photo hosting password, and I wanted to bond with the knife a bit before posting my impressions.

Overall I love the design, and the bolster just looks great when the knife is sitting on a table or nightstand. Very elegant and eye catching.

I don’t really love the shallow sawcut though. I wish it was more deep and pronounced, or that we’d voted for smooth covers. Am I allowed to say that? I also don’t love the pronounced chatter marks on the beveled edge of mine. (3rd pic). Hard to tell if it was a slip at the factory or just the porosity of the bone. As I already put a scratch on the bolster accidentally, I guess that means I can clean it up with some sandpaper and polish, and this guy will be a …..USER Other than that, fit and finish are really top notch. Blade is centered, no play, backsprings flush at open and closed positions (slightly proud at half stop but that doesn’t matter to me) and the bolster transitions are well done.

In hand this is a big knife. But not gigantic. It’s a good size. It’s weighty enough in the pocket that I can feel it there, but not in a bad way (unlike the 2 blade 86s, which I find a bit too chunky to comfortably carry.) Also, I can’t remember if it’s been noted before, but the blade is quite pinchable, which is a nice bonus.
