Hey everybody... just wanted to follow up:
I was originally in for the 2nd group buy but when I saw this one, I contacted Don and snatched it up.
So i got it a few days ago and words just can't describe how incredible this knife is. This is my first custom knife and WOW is all i can say. Perfect balance, feels so natural in my hand. The single finger groove gives a great grip. Nice and hefty without being too heavy... planning as more of a general outdoors/camping knife (sorry, no fighting!) and looks like this knife can do anything.
I would say the only negative about this knife is that it may decrease the demand for the full size version! Personally, 5" is all the blade i think i'll ever need.
Kydex sheath is very nice with great retention (almost too good but i just need to work it in a little).
Don was great to deal with... highly recommended.
So, my pics don't come close to Don's but figured i'd share my first impressions. Haven't had a chance to put her to work yet but hunting season's just around the corner....
