Paul, I have to agree with you on this one. This is one awesom knife. I liked it the first time I saw it in the newsletter but was totally captured by it when I held the one at Blade West. Some of the customers who bought the first batch have even used them and have nothing but great things to say about them.
I don't usually pull anything for my own use but this one is an exception. (If I pulled everything I wanted I'd go broke.) I received some a few weeks ago and they were gone almost as soon as I got them in so I wasn't able to pull one for myself. Either this next batch or the one after will have one for me. I would have kept one the first batch but they were all spoken for by local customers before I received them and it wouldn't have been kosher to make one of them wait for the next batch. I am definitely keeping one of these, though. Probably one of the signed ones. (If they don't all pre-sell again before I get them.)
If Chris follows through with a leather sheath then so much the better as I was considering having one custom made. I'll call and put some on order. Maybe that will add some weight to the requests. The alternative might be a Randall model "C" sheath. Considering the dimensions, one of them should be a pretty good fit. I'll have to check it on mine when the next order comes in.
