I've only had this one for a few hours, so these impressions are real new. Sorry--no digicam capabilities, but this knife was featured in the March 2002 Tactical Knives and is also to be viewed at www.bladeart.com and at Pat Crawford's site as well.

It's a 3" blade with an OAL of 7.25". Mine has Ti scales and liner, of course with a pocket clip. Blade is ATS-34, satin finished, with a gentle recurved edge.

Although the blade is only 3", the knife handles beautifully with my medium-sized hands due to the very well designed handle. You can really "white-knucle" this knife in complete comfort.

The bushings appear to be phosphor-bronze and the action of the knife is silky smooth. Of course--no wobble in any direction.

I've only cut some cardboard with it so far and I have to say that it compares favorably in the "cardboard contest" with my large Sebbie. And that is a tough act to follow.

This knife is at an almost ideal size. Easy to carry, yet it handles well enough to handle just about any everyday task you could ask of it. The blade shape is very utility-oriented yet also capable of tactical duty if called upon.

IMHO, Pat Crawford has hit a winner with this knife.

BTW, top rate service from www.bladeart.com
