It finally arrived and after careful remove of the cardboard sheath I got my first look. Beautiful fit, finish, feel and looks just like all of the images everyone has posted and matches Dan's initial drawing to the "T". The knife comfortably rests in my hand in a number of holding positions. This bad boy comes SHARP, probably the sharpest that I own and I now know the meaning to hair popping sharp. Easily shaves arm hair. I had nothing to cut up last night because it was dark when I got home, but she should be broken in over the weekend.
I showed it to the wife and she had this to say - "wow, this feels good and is the perfect size. I really like the handle, what is this made out of". Those words coming from a non knife nut were pleasing to hear. My girls were also very curious of the handle material. The natural canvas micarta looks ahhhh, ahhhh natural, unlike my Bark River which appears to have some epoxy coating over the micarta.
Anyways I spent most of the evening making my firesteel handle (still working on it) and plan to get out to the desert and really test this baby out. Here are some pictures.
