Today I got home to find a couple of packages waiting for me. One was a sheath from G2 which I discussed in the General Forum thread, the other was my "Spook" from Trace Rinaldi. I have been eagerly awaiting it's arrival for a while and was completely surprised to find it here today. I think I almost chewed through the box in my haste; finally remembered to use a !knife! !!!DUH.
Anyway, this is one sweet littke piece. This is a small concealable knife with a multicarry sheath. Trace did the sheath in Concealex, with the Desert camo pattern I requested, looks very neat, not another tactical black sheath. There are lots of different ways to carry this and it's going to take me some time to decide on which will be primary. The set up for SOB seems to work really well on this one, better than others I've tried. Ok, almost forgot the knife in my gushing over the sheath. The blade is actually just about 33/4" long with the sharpened part being 3 1/8". Handle is 4", black G10 with thong hole. The blade is black (ashamed to say I didn't check what the coating is) and the shape is sort of a clip with a bit of a recurve edge, ATS34. Trace's logo is done nicely in contrasting white letters. There is an integral guard/choil that is very effective and also keeps one fron slicing fingers when drawing from the sheath. And slice this baby will ! The little bugger was shaving arm hair very nicely thank you ( what arm hair was left
) All in all, a very high quality knife for a very reasonable price and a not too long wait. I reccomend you check out his site if you havn't yet. Thanks Trace.
