Whoa, I really like the purple anodizing on the handles!
I bought a BEAST a while back to check out what it was all about. I ended up selling it off because I like a knife with a longer blade (3.75-4" is my sweet spot). But I was very impressed with the design, particularly the ergonomics (the low-ride clip is a nice feature, too). It felt far more comfortable in my hand than other 3" blade knives with similar blade:handle ratios, such as the Small Sebenza and the various Benchmade "Mini" models (Mini Grip, Mini Presidio, etc.). If I moved or traveled for an extended period to a place where I was limited to a 3" blade, it'd be one of my top choices (at least until I could get a custom 3" Madd Maxx ordered from Darrel Ralph!).
Also, the maker of the BEAST, Jim Allen, is a fantastic guy to deal with.

you wont regret it. he's even willing to leave the whole thing sterile, which i thought about but ended up keeping it on there (his mark)
Me too--mine's not as pretty as yours, but I'm still excited about it and can't believe I lucked into getting one. If it's as good as people say, then it's a heck of a deal.
The irony is that I only started looking for a new knife last week and just chanced into finding out about TSF 4 or 5 days ago. A couple of emails later and just like that he's sending it out.
Be sure to post an update when yours arrives--looks like Tuesday here.
Cheers,
Daniel

Congrats! :thumbup: That said, "The Beast?" What am I missing? It's a little folder, I expected to google and find something like the Grayman Satu.

Got my first Beast from Jim Allen today. What can I say.... Well its a tank. Centered blade, very early lock up, Very tight. And Jim is a real gentleman to deal with. Looking forward to carrying it on duty.
