Corkum Fighters, Anyone Got One?

[Megalobyte]

I just ordered a Steve Corkum "First Strike" fighter knife with the maroon ray skin, epoxy cord wrapped handle, and am excited to receive it. Like any self respecting knife nut, i of course paid the $25 for overnight shipping.

Anyone have one, do you like it? Worth the $? I find it to be very pleasing to the eye, i love those distinct temper lines in the blade, and it will also be nice to finally own a tanto blade that is relatively faithful to the original design. Ill post my thoughts on its quality tomorrow night after i examine it closely.

Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Birthday! I've been eyeing Steve Corkums stuff too. Go ahead and tell me how great it is...I'll probably be getting one. Tell me how you like the size, and if it carries comfortably on the kydex and if seems like a good general purpose user...
most of all ENJOY

Thanks QP. If the knife is as good as it looks in the picture, im going to love it. Ive never really heard a bad comment about Corkum, and i did a few searches in the forums prior to placing my order, and had read good things about him, so, i have high hopes, and i will definitely let you all know what i think of it when it arrives tomorrow. I own and am very much into high-end customs, so my standards for quality are pretty high, but i have a feeling this knife is very well made, and, as per the pictures ive seen, beautiful to boot. Gotta love the traditional clay temper/hamon lines.---Ari
