Thanks! Excited for you to get it!

I got it in hand yesterday and have been obsessively going over the design and workmanship, and man oh man.

I did a long pikal compendium post in Prac Tac where I have a photo of it in my hand but today was very overcast and I had to take a so-so photo indoors.

Tomorrow I'll get a writeup more specific to the Wretch, and good photos since it should be sunny.

I could not be more pleased with this knife!

Here's the PracTac thread:

I still need to get around to the writeup, but here's a picture in hand. I cratered out the scales a little more to give it a bit of my own character, and a somewhat improved grip. Not that it needed it.
