Hey jlerch, it's great to see this resolved to your satisfaction. Great service from the guys at Ka-Bar and Ethan himself. I hear ya about being a little gunshy with the new blade; however, I'm sure after a few outings you'll have the same confidence with it as you did with your previous knife. I'm glad this hasn't shaken your confidence with this company; I know reading thru this thread, I'm glad I chose Beckers for my outdoor knives. Great to see a company stand behind their product.
Now we need to see some action pics with it on your next outing!
