That is a shame, i carried a next gen in Iraq in '03. I loved it and got a lot of use out of her

I'm glad I bought one of these a few years ago. I haven't used it much and I guess I won't, since it's a collector's item now.

I'd buy the D2 version if it came in plain edge. I don't buy any knives with serrations anymore.

Here's mine all stripped and shiny

They're not cheap, but they're pretty awesome. One thing also is that if it ever breaks or anything goes wrong, it's replaced for free.

That's too bad, it was really an outstanding design. Guess I'll have to snatch up a spare.

Darn it. This knife just jumped from "sometime in the future" to "get it right now!" status.

Tomars here I come!

Too bad, I like that way better than the classic. give it a straight clip, and mmmm....

I loathed them. The pommel was too big and bulky. I couldn't switch to a reverse grip 'cause the pommel kept getting in the way.
