I actually got started on this one today. Have a little more to take off the handle. Might drop the point a touch more but I like the profile of it now.

I recently moved and need to find my really small contact wheel attachment to finish the choil and thumb ramp. The choil needs a bit more depth/rounding and the thumb ramp needs to go a little farther. Will probably round everything as well (nuclear melt). But it's a good start and I like it even more than the stock one. The res-c is even stickier sanded. Might need to finally break down and get some stuff to make my first sheath.

Uggg can't resize the pics in any of my apps. I'll be back after I get that figured out

Mine arrived a couple days ago! Great knife, and as commented by others so light.
Was hoping to skin and break down a moose with it yesterday but had to settle on cutting up a bunch of grouse. The thin, super sharp blade makes for an amazing cutter/slicer and the warranty is second to none. My beloved Ratmandu will be taking a break during the hunting season.

Thanks Jerry and the gang!
 
Got mine and very pleased. Well, other than the sheath. So small, I cut right through it. David Brown is hooking me up though.

Does the blade flex at all?

From a physical perspective, everything flexes.
I can’t flex mine in hand,it is pretty rigid, the only time I felt a little flex is when I pryed a coconut open.

Modulus of Elasticity of steel almost doesn’t change from compositions , heat treatment , hardness or strength.
So it you want to get an idea, you may flex a knife of similar thickness, for example mora companion.
