Got my new TM in today in O1. What a fantastic blade. I have an older Carbon V from the late 90's that I have kept around, and this one is much nicer. The blade is incredibly nice and clean. Came razor sharp out of the box.
It is a bit wider than my old TM. Another interesting note is that the swedge on the new TM came pretty darn sharp! Sharp enough that you need to be careful not to cut yourself.
I included some pics, and some side by sides. Tell me what y'all think. Fantastic blade for the money I say.

Also wanted to add; I think the sheath is fine. Quite serviceable. I have heard people complain about it. I find it quite decent for the price point. I was just watching You Tube and folks were arguing Busse vs. Cold Steel vs. blah blah. I will say this: at the price point CS is putting these on the streets for, they are FANTASTIC knives. Again, everything is relative. It's not a "hand forged, Hamon line, hand engraved filework" etc. it's also not a $500-600 dollar knife.
