Yeah, the Ursus is .158 while the cub is .130. Both have a really high grind so they’re a great thickness bte

I think bte is about .022 on both so they are FANTASTIC!
The blade is comparable to the Survive! Gso3.5 and the LION Steel m2m but edge thickness is wwaayyy thinner.

I'll be getting a review up on the Ursus Cub soon but I just absolutely love this blade!
If you are thinking about grabbing one next week they will be releasing a VERY limited drop of them with Mexican blanket scales!

Finally got my hands on one. Grip is to small by a 1/4" and hits my pinky all wrong. Guess I'll have to stick with the ursus 45.

Yeah it should have been noted that the grip probably won’t work for people with wide ish hands. They designed it as an edc blade so they’re trying to make the overall length and weight as low as they could. If my hand was any wider it wouldn’t be a good fit, but thankfully it’s comfortable in hand for me. I guess I’ll see if it becomes uncomfortable after extended use. I do wish they would have extended the micarta over the exposed tang.
I think it overtook the Guardian 3.2 as my favorite EDC fixed blade. Speaking of, they recently added a leather sheath option for the Ursus Cub which I ordered as soon as I stumbled across it. Should be here Friday; anyone have one in hand that can speak to how well its made?

If it's anything like the rest of their leather it should be made very well. I have leather on my ursus 45 and it's fantastic
I just got my leather sheath in the other day, and I'm pretty impressed with it. What's funny is that you can basically use it as a pocket carry sheath; just loop your belt through it like a dangler, and it will slide into your pocket and keep the perfect height.
The main downside so far is that the retention when the snap is open is pretty poor, but I only really use it in the vertical position so this isn't a big downside for me personally. Not sure I'd trust this sheath in a horizontal carry, though.
