Had a chance to visit and do some "horse trading" with friends Larry Brahms and Vince Oller of BladeArt.com earlier.

Here's what I walked away with:
Not too shabby, huh? This knife works for me on several levels.
Firstly, it fits my hand as if Bud had designed it for me. Secondly, the 4.5" blade's design, length and composition marry functionality with excellent materials, artistry and craftsmanship. (OAL is 9".)
Those of you familiar with Daryl Meier's "Clad" damascus know that it is one tough steel which takes a great edge. (It features a core of 52100 sandwiched between sides composed of 1095/A203E.)
The stabilized Buckeye burl scales are well radiused and there are no hot spots anywhere. This knife can be deployed with a saber or reverse/icepick grip with equal comfort and security. This is one serious blade.
Bud's famous nine position MCS (Multi-Carry System) is included and allows the knife to be carried across a wide spectrum of options. The magnet assisted kydex sheath is well fitted to the blade and quite secure allowing worry free carry and deployment.
