Yes, I'v got it and I can hardly take my hands off it. It is hard to believe it didn't sell good enough to survive. Well made, exellent fit and finish, lively in the hand and smooth yet solid.
Its an early one, very early actually, it sports a collectors number, 107V. The first batch accidently didn't get a ful flat ground blade so I expected it to be hollow ground. Surprise, it isn't, its a sabre grind. Very nicely done especialy where it meets the false edge. The texture of the G-10 is pleasent in the hand, a little less so on the the pocket. The clip is coated instead of the nowadays paint. It looks better and even more so if it starts to wear. This stuff will age with grace. This version is linerless, later ones sported one liner. Mainly to give the screws that hold the clip a little more to hold on to. Latest version had two liners and a Boye dent. This one has a normal lockbar and I'm pleased with it. Deacon, I think I move over to your camp. This looks much better and feels just as safe to me. I begin to believe, the dent is an answer to no problem.
Thank you Jurphaas for your excelent survice, yes I smiled all the way home, in fact I still do. :D And thank you for the goodies too.
