This may be out there already, but I didn't just stumble across it. Will someone post up the Monarch side-by-side with the Esquire. A Hiking Buddy or Bushfinger for reference would be great since I have or had those. I would really like to see the Monarch and/or Esquire in CPM154.

Thanks in advance.
 
This pic was on my camera roll but I don't recall taking it. So if it's someone on here the credit goes to them. It looks like a fiddleback background though
That being said the monarch is on top and the esquire below
 
Perfect!! The link has the info I needed. The pic helped somewhat when referencing some comparisons I've seen before. Now just to talk Andy and team in to making a CPM154 Monarch AND then snag it on Friday. Near impossible!
 
The esquire is a small (smaller than a Hiking Buddy) utility knife. The Monarch is a knife I designed based on the shape of the Esquire. I wanted subtle curves and changes in the shapes of these two. I was motovated to design it because of my favorite Loveless design, the New York Special.

The monarch sports a spearpoint blade that is full bushcrafting size. What makes the design great is the handle. It is big enough and comfortable enough to do bushcrafting chores. The back of the pommel is shaped so that you can spin it around wrap your thumb over it and defend yourself in a very intimidating way with it. I wouldn't extend any of my limbs toward someone that was deterring me with a Monarch, and yet, I don't think 'scary knife' when I see one.
 
I really like the overall profile layout of both. My preference, due to size alone, would be the Momarch. Posses both would not be out of the question.
Thanks for the personal feedback.
