I got my BM Bone Collector in the mail today. It's number 33 of 500 in the first production run. I don't know if that increases it's collector value any at all

Initial impression:
-It feels big. The grip size and shape reminds me of the Boker Dozier Anchorage Pro Skinner, but a little fatter. Which makes it very comfortable, but it takes a lot of room in the pocket.
-For a knife this size it's not terribly heavy. Some of this is due to the skeletonized liner.
-I like the scales. They're different than what you usually see on a knife these days (I like different), but the scales are a bit more porous feeling then I was expecting for being stabilized.
-It came, what I have found to be, typical BM "do it yourself" sharp.
-I like the Spydie hole better then the big ole' studs on the Rift. It's just as easy to use and less likely to get in the way when cutting.
