Does anyone have the Woodsman Pal PT 101?

[Vanguard41xx]

I was browsing their site, and noticed they had a knife and tool section. I clicked on it, ans saw this pretty lookin' knife. It is called the PT 101. http://www.woodmanspal.com/products/pro-tool-camp-utility-knife-pt101 Does anyone have this, or its smaller cousin? The sheath looks poorly made, but how is the knife?

Their knives are a new addition to their line, so I'd be surprised if anyone did have one yet. That being said I'm not a big fan of the hollow grind.

Vanguard, interesting you brought this up. I just ordered one yesterday because I was looking for a nice "WOOD" handled knife, which seem to be disappearing.

I'm getting a little tired of micarta, g-10 etc..

the PT101 looks like a nice blade, we'll see.

It does look good. Not to get too topic, but Condor uses 1075 with wood handles for a fraction of the cost. They are good looking and of comparable size as the Pal. A quick search turned up several for less than $30. Just sayin'.

Just sayin' if you like your manufacturing economy sent to Central America, you roll with Condor over an equivalent American product.

I don't mind foreign manufacturers, but I'll only go to them for styles and/or steel/wood combos that I can't get domestically.

VBA -- looking forward to your review, especially to hear of the rivets cause hot spots.
Personally, while I like the looks of the knife, I'm not a fan of hollow grinds, so am not likely to purchase one -- but I really like the looks/concept behind this one: http://www.woodmanspal.com/products/pro-tool-chisel-utility-knife-pt102 the poor man's Razel.
