Bill really knocked this blade out of the park...the Tero-Tuff scales are incredibly well shaped and uncomfortable, and while it's been used lightly a couple of times, it still has a screaming sharp edge. The steel is of course Bill's differentially heat treated 5160, but this one is a FATTY at almost 3/8s thick.
The sheath is just as awesome as the knife. River8 (if you don't know him search for his work here on the forum, it's incredible and used by a lot of SAR guys) made it, and it's situated for over the shoulder carry and comes with a few other straps for securing it to the belt as well and a couple of other ways so that it stays put on the draw. The sheath retention is very secure...hence the scratches on the blade, but this baby was meant to be a user.
The pouch system is crazy cool though...two pouches which can be tightened down with buttoms and then a flap with fastex buckes. You can fit a lot of gear in these pouches.
I'm only moving it because I always find myself reaching for something larger / longer. Everything about it is awesome, and I hate to move it (particularly because it took some bothering of both of them to get both parts), but it just doesn't see use from me because I prefer something with a longer blade.
Asking $450 net to me (paypal or MO accepted), shipped priority in the US with tracking. This is significantly below what I paid for the two pieces separately. Also, very interested in trades for other large Siegle choppers, and possible a helmforge chopper.
Here are the pics (sorry about the smudging on the blade...I keep it well oiled to avoid rust):
