Very nice yall! Good that these are finally trickling into folks' hands! Looks like everyone bought 2. I should have done it myself!
damn, I just cannot get over the quality of work on display with this knife. That Nate was able to turn my rough sketch and model into something so intricate, refined and well made has me constantly pinching (or stabbing, depending on my luck) myself to remind that I'm not dreaming!
My D3V preorder arrived today. Here it is next to two D2 HDFK. The OD Green micarta D2 is the 'thin' handles version.
