Received my Gunting(Military version) today

Mickey · Apr 1, 2001

I picked it up through a dealer friend from Cavaet Emptor Gun and Knife supply here in northeast Ohio.
I really like the new 4 1/2 inch blade.The 50/50 serrated plain edged blade is set off nicely by the black oxide coating.
Even though the handle is noticably longer, it's new contours fit the hand comfortably.I like the fact that the black pocket clip is now ambidexterious.The way it is set up, it does not interfere with the "Dimple"in the G-10.
I also bought the only Kydex scabbard they had in stock for this knife.The pivot placed in between the clip and scabbard(Both kydex) allow the knife to be carried either vertical or horizontal on the belt.It feels more comfortable riding horizontal because of the longer dimensions.Eventually, I would like to pick up the Shoulder holster rig for this knife.All in all, I believe it will be a popular model.
I'm curious, did anyone else pick one up yet?

Is this the one they were making out of unobtainium?

Anyman,
Thanks.I hope he is in a good mood too.Note the Knife company.Cavaet Emptor (Latin for "Let the buyer beware").Also the date on the bottom(April 1, 2001 April fool's day).
Bram is a great instructor, and the Gunting is quite an innovative Knife design.The whimsical post was written just in the spirit of April fool's day.Don't take it seriously.
Mickey
