I got my Rd-3.5 today, all I can say is wow! This is an early wedding present to myself (7/7/07 
), The knifes stats: Flat ground satin 1 1/4 thick 5160, 3 1/16in cutting surface, and thumb grooves. 4 1/16 overall, micarta with skullcrusher pommel. First off, Justin was very helpful, and gave great advice, and showed pure professionalism through and through.
Second, I bought the knife Wednesday, and got it today, 2 days!!! I suppose it doesn't hurt to live in the same state, but wow, thats service! Now, the knife it's self is perfect for me, fits my hand great very comfortable, and I don't have large hands. The blade is great, with a totally useful profile. I can however see why some folks are slightly critical of these knives, they are slightly rough fininshed, and it has some unpolished rough finished parts in the pommel, and underneath the micarta. And the infamous chopping edge was present, but I changed that real quick, no problem, shaves easily now. For folks who collect, this might not be what you like, but those of us who use, it rocks! It's gonna get marked up, and its gonna perform GREAT, and thats what counts. And it's a custom, what could be better? And honestly (mall ninja alert!
) I think it looks badass! It's my favorite style, leaf/spearpoint, with a large finger choil. Overall, all I can say is I will pick up more Rangers, and what better endorsement can I give?
Please forgive my horrible phone pics, it' all I have right now.
