198.00 hey PM are they .25 thick? How does that bump on the back of the handle feel? I guess I will find out for myself in a couple days

3/16." I've haven't mic'ed it but I feel pretty certain about it. The bump feels much like the old rats with the slimmer grip = Dog Skinner, Desert Jack, SAR-Rat. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. I sorta wish I had bought two. Now I need to find a kydex bender to make this one go into the rotation.

3/16 wow, sweet, looking forward to getting mine. FYI Rainwalker has one if you are looking for a kydex guy you dont have to ship too :thumbup: I am also guessing it will fit nicely in the large spec ops sheath

dunno, nobody has officially come out and said anything about it other than Jerry introducing it. It would be nice to see Eric add some specs and info on it.

If it is a CW variant, it is of thinner stock. I wouldn't call it a CW variant, if pressed.

they have never come out and said anything about it. To me it looks like a Tank Buster/Chopweiler spawn

not so far there isn't, I am surprised Eric has been so quiet regarding the blade.
I agree the TB and CW must have got together late one night.
Pretty cool looking though. :thumbup:

Good pics, thanks.
I thought I saw posted somewhere else that it was the same thickness as a Chopweiler?
From the profile, it's pretty clear that is based on a CW blade blank that has been cut down. That alone would help make it faster in hand, especially with the amount of metal removed from the blade by the scoop in the spine. Thinner stock would make it whole 'nuther animal. My guess was that this design is one that SR has made for some mil units, an all purpose combat utility knife.
