Yeah. If you’ve never tried terotuf you should definitely get a set. They are nice and grippy. Some have said they may be more difficult to keep clean. I haven’t had any problems with the bright green ones on my FK2. It goes on most of my backpacking trips with me and has gotten fairly dirty but has always cleaned up well.
Overall slight edge to canvas micarta but it’s more fun to have different materials.

Very cool! That’s in line with all I’ve been reading on it. Def good to hear positive things on cleanup! Waiting on Jo to reply for the order. Gna see if a couple scales may be in the cards
super excited to get my hands on these. The acid wash looks super cool but seems like it’ll show wear really bad… y’all have any experience with it? Seems like a good option for a blade to look cool but might get messy if it’s getting use?

I’ve never gotten one acid washed but it does look pretty awesome. It is only skin deep so I would guess on a user it would eventually wear through.
The tumbled finish CPK does on all the stock blades is a great finish for a user. The EDC2 I’ve been using for years has a ton of scratches but you have to angle it in the light to really see them because the tumbled finish hides them so well.

Man this thing feels so light! Could easily become one of my favorites. I was down the list having snoozed a bit on the preorder, so the scrap pile claimed my MagnaCut wishes, but very pleased with this blade.
You might have the nicest total package.... Everything looks great together.
