The most epic mail call I may ever be granted. My starter 4.7 in 3v with black canvas and kydex. A surprise, preproduction cruforge 4.7 generously sent along.
Moderately pimped out. With Halestorm belt attachment and reflective paracord diamond knot.
Out with the old and in with the new spec.
Just kidding, I'd never part with my 5.
Of course I have to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Guy, Ellie and the team. All expectations of the products were surpassed as always. I took off from work as fast as I could today, but now I have some working from home to do, so this will just be a brief introduction. I can say the handle is slimmer and the knife is smaller in all dimensions than I thought it would be, but that doesn't take away from anything at all. The handle ergonomics live up to the hype and the dimensions just seem perfect. I love the fit in the sheath. More to come!
I was able to do a little late-night, indoor try stick. This 4.7 really is a well designed tool. I loved using it. My over-ripened-peach-like thumbs are still undecided on the new and improved spine, but they don't hate it. Given the choice of no jimping or jimping, they'd prefer none as they really prefer the feel of a smooth spine. Between the old spec spine and new, there isn't as much difference as they thought there might be.
