Anyone know if that site is legit?
I love the look of the Hellfire grind, but the Wharny looks way more useful.

General Note: Please enjoy great products made by RHK or collaborations. The RHK website has an extensive list of approved vendors, the BF Forum has many reputable sponsors as well. It is problematic when links are posted to non-sponsoring sites or sites not listed as an approved vendor.

Is it alright to name a "best price" vendor while omitting the link or is that also not kosher?

I guess that answers my question. Thanks, Rob.

It's ok to mention vendors that are sponsors of BladeForums or who are listed on a website of a paying sub-forum.
Certainly information gets shared via email or PM (rather than in open forum) avoids problems.
By "problems" I mean, I've actually seen websites mentioned in open forum (good natured, trying to help) something goes wrong and it hits the fan.
Better off leaving it "private" or stick with approved/sponsor websites and vendors that way nobody gets upset if something doesn't go quite right.

Well, wherever y'all might buy these, the product is quite nice. the Wharncliffe (Hinderance) model has a blade very similar in size to my XM-18 Wharncliffes. It is perhaps a mm or trow longer in cutting edge, but the handle is totally divergent: angled, thinner and with a totally different balance and feel. I think it is a considerable improvement over my older model TDI LEO knife, which I liked quite well. The "retention" sheath is also pretty darned cool!

About the only thing I might prefer about the old one is the more acute handle to blade angle. For me, it, it seems to function a bit better as a weak handed gun retention knife.

So... Howe's Knife Shop (which is one of Rick's authorized dealers, per website) is saying they now have them in stock. And payday is in two days.

I still like these but haven't purchased them yet.
I'm running on the assumption they will be very popular and readily available. Much like the other collaborations make for excellent gifts and backup/glovebox/toolbox/tackle box/ etc....these too will fit well in those rolls.
