Evan, that is one sweeeeeeeeet blade!
Such a great knives and pictures on the last pages !
I did carry today my Mcusta tactility and my regular Rat1 because I was busy... Don't have time for pictures, but I have to brag about my new fixed blade:
A forum fixed blade from Bulgaria, Manly made, forum design, cpm 154, slight hollow grind, G10 I believe is the handle material, #13 out of 115
First impression - outstanding knife, love it. Now I have to think about a sheath so I can carry this thing...

Beautiful knife you've got there. I'm usualy not one for synthetic handles on fixed blades, but that thing is just stunning. What's the blade, 4.5"?

I carried a BM 51 for a few months last year. It was pretty fun, no argument here dude!
The clip is well designed and well positioned. It angles the knife properly in the pocket, if you know what I mean.
Its a tricky knife. Because the blade is so big, you expect it to be huge. Then you realize that its LESS than five inches closed and a half inch thick. It surprised me for sure.
If you can find one I would highly recommend it. Its big and visceral but man is it a fantastic blade.
Blade geometry is dialed in as well. Mine can cleanly slice phone book paper and I haven't touched the edge yet.
Let me know if you want to know anything specific. I agree that there isn't a ton of info out there on them.
