Awaiting a status update, myself.
I believe that JDeiseljoe still has it. If he's had the weather we've had recently here in PA he's probably not had too many chances to use it, unfortunately.
You are on deck to receive. :thumbup: If I hear something first, I'll pass the word.

Great to hear she made it ok!!
Sorry for my lack of pics and participation, between the rainy days and a string of stomach bugs, I did not have a chance to use her!
I hope everyone else puts her to good use for me!

was able to bring the blades out for a bit today
here she is right beside a esee 6
and was splitting some wood and found a snack
first impressions with the blade- the handle is well designed and is comfy even when chopping/batoning. the choil allows you to do some finer tasks if you need to (shavings, but was not really able to get a good feather stick going. but will try again) but is of course heavy and generally unwieldy to carry.
more thoughts and pics to come

after more use
here is my complete review
1- very bad 5-average 10-perfect
Categories:
portability-3
ease of use-10
cutting-7
chopping-9.5
batoning-9
price to performance-2
average-7
this blade is a good all arounder. It chops like a beast and batons like a champ. if you can get past its price and can deal its size this blade may be for you… that is if u can find one.
happy hunting
-Portability-3
This is a big and heavy blade. at .25in thick the thing is a beast to have on your belt. it does alot better in a pack but is still not a light tool. if you dont want to lug around a big knife look elsewhere
ease of use(ergos)-10
The handle is SUPER comfy. no hotspots were developed when i was chopping,cutting or batoning
Cutting-7
cutting performance was not really great. i could not really get a good feather stick with it. and the heavy blade made notching and other similar tasks difficult. that being said the blade was not as sharp as it could be.
Chopping-9.5
as far as choppers go this is darn close to as good as it gets.
the blade is very well balanced for chopping and its not so heavy that you get tired quickly
Batoning-9
with the length of the blade and the thickness makes this a very effective splitter able to split some very big logs. could not ask for something better as far as knifes go.
price to performance-2
this is where this blade and most other busse blades suck at(and this is also why there is a thing call scrapyard knives) You can get 98% of the performance for a fraction of the cost with something like a bk9,SYKC 911,R9 ect. for me the performance does not constitute the cost but others mileage may vary.
Tasks:
camp tool-9
backpacking tool in a 2 blade system-7
Survival blade-8
average-8
camp tool-9
as a camp tool this blade is amazing. you can do just about anything with it and a folder. making kindling: no problem. making tent stakes: no problem. cutting massive amounts of bacon: no problem. Making a shelter: no problem.
Backpacking tool-7
this makes a great tool to keep in your pack because most go out with a 3 blade system- a large knife like this one, a medium sized knife(esee 6,RMD) and a small belt knife/folder(esee 3,izula, PM2 ect). this lowers your weight by cutting out(lol punny) some weight
Survival blade- 8
While this blade is not the best for small delicate tasks this blade would do you fine in a survival situation because it can do it and it can accomplish much harder tasks that a smaller/less robust blade could not with ease. and in a wet environment you don't have to worry about rust as much. as well as being able to be sharpened easier
it is all packaged up and getting ready to head to jball1125 tomorrow

Taking an Organic Chemistry class that is kicking my buttttt so I haven't had a chance to take her out yet. I will get her out to play before my time is up though, that's for sure.
Till then here is a pic with some of the friends she will be playing with.

Looks like a rough crew! Have fun! :thumbup:
They play a bit rough, just how Infi likes it.
