Just got my Cold Steel R-1, and all I can say is wow! Talk about an impressive piece of work. Far and away the sharpest out of the box knife I've ever seen. Fantastic feel & balance. The only other knife I've held that impressed me as much at first sight is my Hattori HA6-2...
My only bellyache is the micarta handle (which I love) is a bit smooth for my liking. They could have quit sanding a couple grits sooner...
Got a Randall Model 14 Type C sheath off eBay for it (for left hand carry), and the package is about perfect. Nice bonus is that my old Camillus Fighter fits perfectly in the Type A sheath (pretty darn nice piece of leather) that came with the R-1...
