Got my new Urban Raven from Rob this mornin and I gotta tell ya its awesome.This not only is a great backup knife but it would lend itself useful around camp peelin taters or skinning game of any type.Another cool thing bout this knife is the finish,its a very clean smooth ,low reflective finish.I have always loved Noeldechens sheaths and this one is no exception,very slim with plenty of eyelets for lashing,very tight against the side making it easy for backpack belts to be tightened.The thickness,edge and width are all great.It balances at the first handle hole and is not to handle heavy.This knife would also be a great pilots knife being very slim and not to large.I just wish they had the Raven and the U Raven together on the cover of TK this issue that would be real cool.Great knife Rob,thanks!
