Well, no Cultelli, but two HR's have finally arrived!
First impressions - wow! Really fine pieces of steel.
My wife likes them as well. I'm glad she isn't really into knives, otherwise I would likely lose one. She even understood that I had to have both, not just one. That's good because it meant I didn't lose one of something else.
The magnum grip feels good, although for me it makes the knife not quite as quick in the hand as the standard scales on my old HR. I can't change my grip as quickly or easily. It is more secure in the grip though. I'll have to give one a good beating to see which I prefer. I'll probably decide:- "both!"
It fits reasonably in a spec-ops sheath I happened to have lying around. I could do with opening the kydex a little though; it's just a little too tight for comfort and will rub up the coating badly if I don't loosen it. Edited to add: I've loosened the kydex, now it fits perfectly. I'm going to order a couple more sheaths for my others now.
Let the photo's commence:
