That isn't really a standard to hold a production knife to, the knife isn't meant to be used at half stop.

Got my Micarta today, I really like it. Swayback handle, hawkbill blade, thin about 3/8" thick. Nice knife!
Hope I might get the Rosewood version.

I know you would have preferred the micartaI am somewhat ambivalent about it all. On one hand, I prefer transparency, on the other, I understand it from a collector's viewpoint.
Regardless, unless one is pretty plugged in on some or all of the Facebook channels, one is apt to miss out on the smaller runs. Facebook is a non-starter for me, those that enjoy that arena can reap its rewards. I'm just happy to get at least one from a run that interests me these days through the regular means.
I was able to score a micarta Harvester recently, only to be notified by the dealer that they oversold their stock so I was then offered a Rosewood at the same price. I didn't pass it up and I just received it yesterday. It's a very nicely made knife, though I wish the pulls were firmer on a working knife this large.

I think this would complement the #47 very well.

I’m excited for my cotton sampler. Not sure how much pocket time it will get, but it will get a lot of shelf time. Pocket knives make great decorations

That's what I have been doing too. It has been good for cutting up food so far, the belly makes pull cuts easy and the notch keeps food away from the pivot.

With a small sample size of a couple of days.
This is a fairly capable knife. Once you get accustomed to the shape and geometry of the cutting angles it work quite well. Broke down a sweet potato and some chicken last night, I have no complaints.
More to come.

I bought one today. The Cotton Sampler always made my mind wonder.
