the new shikra is out... opinions?

[dirc]

Here is the new shikra... I like the overall look, and simplicity, and size. It's awesome that it uses linen micarta, but only 1 side, and Ti on the other I wish they had a full linen micarta option.

I can handle that I guess, it's amazing that they went to the expense of Ti + linen micarta on an aus8 blade.
It's ok, well treated aus8 is nice and tough...
but ofc I hope they do at least a d2 version (since they do that with the rats already)
and it would be great if they went to a pm steel (even plain old s35vn would be great imho)

Just ordered one, excited to see how it works. Style and materials look nice for the budget.
