Wait till you see the Duke. I think the Duke is really going to set it off.

Soon to follow the Duke will be the Kephart and after that the Bushboot (in 3V!!!) will be out.
 
I liked the review. While I understand that as always opinions do vary, I disagree with the statement that it is not possible to bore safely with the Bushfinger. I could see saying it isn't as comfortable as a rounded pommel, and I would agree. I like the rounded pommels of the Bushcrafter and Bushcrafter Jr, as well as the KE Bushie myself. But I bored a lot of holes in hardwood with the first prototype of the Bushfinger, some for hearth boards and others just though the woods to test the abrasion resistance of the edge. There were some times, after boring for extended periods, when I would be very aware of the point on the end of the pommel. However I never once had any safety issues caused by it, just some occasional comfort issues when boring deep holes, which is seldom necessary in the field for me anyway.

I should clarify. You can drill safely, but not comfortably. Or, you can drill comfortably, but the grips you would use would be unsafe. That is what I meant in the review, sorry if that didn't come acrosss :)
