I have my Rodent Solution in one of his #4's, perfect fit, and intend to try it on a GSO when mine come in. These are very basic, rugged, unrefined, and perfectly functional for my purposes. Wild Boar does have more refined sheaths, closer to what Leatherman or Chuddy and other makers offer...I just came across this post: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1007576-4-Sheaths?
Might be interesting?
Here's a shot from the other day. This is a GSO-4.1 blank in CPM-3V. All of the GSO-4.1 blades are on their way to heat treat. This one should move pretty quickly.

Were we still thinking we'd get these before Christmas?
No, that will for sure not happen. I stated on here that I was TRYING to get these out before or by Christmas but my timeline on my web store page has always reflected an expected delivery date of the first week in January. More realistically, I would guess I'll begin delivering these around the second week of January but I might surprise myself, since these won't have as many stops in production as the GSO-10's, which turned out to be a real nightmare from a manufacturing aspect. All of the GSO-4.1's are currently at Peter's Heat Treating.
That sounds just fine to me. I hate to rush a good thing, especially something like this. If you need til the end if January to kick out a product you are proud of, then so be it.
I bet we are all just anxious and excited.
I ordered one with camo canvas micarta in 3v with a black sheath. What did the rest of ya'll get??![]()

I got a tan canvas/sheath in M390.
I almost went with that combo myself. But then my wife was looking over my shoulder and she said 'Don't order that! Then all of your knives will look the same. Do something different. Order the camo. Camo handles would be cool.' Hey, if the wife wants camo handles, well, that's cool with me.And she is kinda right, I don't have a knife in camo so who am I to argue. LOL

You're getting exactly what I ordered. This is gonna be the best edc/woods knife around. Hope it arrives in time for the feb survival challenge I'm doing...
I'm thinking I'll like the camo micarta, but if not, I might splurge and have a custom handle in ironwood done...
