New Ocelot came today

#1

All I can say is wow. I didn't realize that these are built so solid. Full length liners, blade dead centered, locks up tight as a drum. I am absolutely tickled with this knife. I'm really surprised they aren't more popular. The only problem is the PE are hard to come by so I guess I'll just have to patient in looking for another. :)

Would that be great or what.
Sometimes you gotta kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.

Really great blade design....one of the best for hunting. The Ocelot's only problem is it's way to nice to take hunting. Great EDC blade though.

I'm no hunter, but always thought it would make a great blade for hunting with all the well-designed jimping. Getting all the gunk out of the footprints afterwards might be challenging.

An excellent EDC, almost too nice, great ergos!

It's a funny problem to be too beautiful for the task at hand. Taking an Ocelot hunting is sort of like having a high fashion model working at the local fish plant. Just doesn't seem to fit the task somehow. As a fancy EDC knife the Ocelot comes into it's own. Truly usable art.

It is not hard to clean,I think that got started by a bunch of guys that never tried it.Hot water,tooth brush and dawn cleans it as easy as any other G10 knife.
