I'll be picking one of those up, just point me in the right direction.
Is the folder doing away with the wire breaker? It looks like the area of the wire breaker went away and became a knock out for sharpening (guessing)?
If so I would offer the advice to angle this more (e.g., Chris Reeve Umnumzaan) or do away with the knock out (not sure of the correct term) and make it like the izula. I feel and have heard from others this type of design catches on material (e.g., rope, string, thread) when cutting. I also wonder if this would catch when gutting/skinning an animal.
I would offer advice about the bottle opener (based on looks) but found the HEST design works great and does not get in the way during use like I thought it would from the looks of it. Nice job!
This knife looks awesome! I can't wait to get it.

Will the clip say H.E.S.T. on all of the versions of the folder? If the answer is yes, how will the logo be applied? I'm thinking of using this as my EDC when I have to wear business casual (khakis) and I'm not sure if I want the H.E.S.T. logo to show or not.

- The knife is scary fast out of the pocket...and it locks in place. This feature was not hyped but its a deal closer when you hold it in your hand. Very impressive in the real world too since a closed knife in a hostile environment is not that useful )
I am glad I got the sterile version. I hope it ends up just like the picture in this thread.
The pictures of those look good, BUT. I'm not liking the colors of the Mr. DP shown in these pictures, the one on the www.dpxgear.com website looks much better than the one pictured. The one pictured looks a tad too "dark" to me. The colors are a reverse negative of the colors shown on the mockups. I sure hope they switch them back. If they ship as they are shown, I never would have ordered one of my two as a Mr. DP. Lets hope that gets fixed.

it was my understanding that the sterile version wouldn't have Mr. DP on the scales.
other than that, time will tell.
the laser engraving on the scales looks better in Jeff's pix than it did on the renders, but that's just me.
