I just came across this guy for $43 at a local dealer yesterday. Play with i a little and had to have it! It had a great feel in hand, and the sheath is op notch styling and quality. Due to work, I hven't had a chance to use it yet, so more info on my experience w/ it to come, but in the mean time, has anyone else picked up and used one yet. If so, what are your impressions of the knife?

Just wonderin' what to expect...

The first run of 1000 has micarta handles....and cost $125
They had said the regular production run would have a plastic sheath, different steel, and of coarse different handle material......I was surprised to see the handle material was the only change.

I played with the LTD edition at AG Russel...very nice, comfy, and the sheath was top notch...but I wouldn't have had a use for it.

Man, I would have loved a Mircata handled version. The design is a little unique, but I can see it being handy for general purpose edc stuff. I don't hunt, so the skinning tasks will have to be tested elsewhere (althoug the neighbor's dogs are really driving me nuts, so...)
