This guy needs one too, the Pulitzer's.ok .. ok .. ok.. Seriously - between your Opinel re-envisioning and this SAK .. WONDERFULNESS! .. someone needs to pay you a whole lotta money and have you figure out how to make these production versions and get them in stores so that I can spend all of my money on acquiring every last variation of these knives.
You seriously take a knife that has things I find good , so-so, and bad - strip out all of the negative and make it a complete ball of awesome! If you, in the process of collecting afore-mentioned pile of money, could convince them to replace the main blade of the SAK with a cts-xhp (or m390, or ..) one with the same dimensions, I would nominate you for a Nobel prize!
