I'm not to worried fellas, He was in on the BRKT Mag foxriver passaround and did everything perfectly. I have his cell phone # and will call him if he doesn't reply to my email by tomorrow.
He's a good guy, I am sure he will turn up. I just hope everything is ok with him.

Hey guys. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
I didn't flake out - work is just really busy and I've been away from areas where I can access computers easily. Over half of my day is spent away from typical work areas for another week.
I sent tonym an e-mail.
It actually took me a few minutes to figure out what the package was at first - that's how far my brain has been out away from knives and self.
With as busy as I've been at work, when I've been off I have tried to make a dedicated "Family First" effort to them - that has resulted in late time that I work from home and the work computer/tasks and not the personal things. My wife was off last week and most of my days were only 12/13 hours since I didn't have to transport my son to grandparents as well. Most of last weekend was theirs.
It's no excuse - just the explanation.
It's not so bad always being close to a computer and access...
I have kept the DP in the truck with me for moments I had a second outdoors.
I do sincerely aplogize for my absence and tardiness.
That being said, this is the 4th DP Knives blade I've handled. I own 3 others. The quality is the same that I have always seen and like with Doug's knives. This blade handles very well. The handle is thinner than the 3 I own - I will get models/pics up by Monday (I hope). I very much like it.
Same cutting performance as my other DPs and it feels good in the hand. I like the overall feel and function of it. I will buy one probably after Christmas.
Well, this is the first morning I've had off for, well...a long time. I'm off to grab a shower and some gear and head to the range to complete my 14th of 15 weeks of firearms instruction this year with basics (not to mention everything else...).
Saturday is my day with my boy and I'm thinking a walk to a trails area is in order and I'll tote the DP with me one more time and a camera - if everything goes right. If not, we'll go out to the woods.
Pics and a little more to come.
E-mail me the next address so I can get this out Saturday or Monday at the latest.
Thanks for the faith brothers. Look forward to slow-down so I can come spend some more time.

Hey guys, I too am sorry about taking so long to get a review up. I've been having some computer issues lately and have been having troubles with pics.
I now have the pics uploaded to photobucket and I expect to be writing up a review today.

Tony, any chance of getting in on this. :thumbup:
If so make me last on this list, and Ill bring it back to you in person.
If not, Ill just come borrow it after the passaround is over, of course then the passaround rules wont apply and I might keep it a long, long time.

You got it Mike:thumbup:
I'll have MP510 send it off to you when he's done, unless someone else jumps in last minute. If your last you can use it as long as you need bud:thumbup:
I know you like big knives and you have really big mitts, so I am not sure how much you're gonna like it; but it will be interesting to see what you think.

OK guys, heres my little review of the DP passaround knife.
First impressions were that it was a good looking knife with its semi satin finish and nicely figured scales. There was a bit of irregularity to the shape of the scales and the grinding on the tang, but its to be expected on a handmade knife and it wouldnt have the same character without it.
I didnt really use the knife the first two days I had it just due to work demands but the third day I carried it all day in my pocket and the thin scales made it a joy for that type of carry.
Blade thickness was just about perfect for a everyday utility type of knife.
I like to prepare a meal with a knife to get a good feel for how it would perform everyday tasks. Unfortunately, I just didnt get the chance to do that. I did take it outside and spend a few minutes with a potato to see how it would slice and dice. It had no problem with either and even with a blade that could have used touch up, sliced paper thin slivers off the tater.
I would have loved to have taken this knife hunting, as I think it would really excel in field dressing chores but timing just wasnt right. I did consider quartering out one of my dogs favorite friends, but guilt would have gotten the best of me, she just loves her sweet fur.
Not to beat a dead horse, and I know Doug has gotten the point by now, But my only real complaint was the shape of scales at the top of the handle. It interfered with the oft used powergrip and created a hotspot on my hand under heavy use.
Just a few pics of the knife with my favorite friend, my ever-present RC-4, for a size comparo.
Great size for EDC if you ask me.
My personal opinion is that Doug did a great job with this knife. It really didnt light my fire until I started using it and it really came alive. Its just a great user, cuts and slices well, comfortable to carry and good looking.
Thanks Tony, youre a mighty generous guy.
