Ha, well assuming it does get delivered Monday, I'll do my best to review it. Any existing models you want it pictured with?

Maybe between a PM2 and a Millie if you're taking requests. Also next to a southard would be cool if you have one. For me, any common production spydie would be helpful for scale, or even just in hand pics. Thanks for indulging our vicarious living!

Dang, Howes is getting them on Tuesday. Oh well. Looks like perfect specs. A hair under 3.5", robust build and thickness, FFG should bring it down to a nice edge thickness.

I don't have a Southard any longer, but I have a PM2 and Millie. I'll try to use common size references.

Just got my order in at CS! I've been looking forward to this one for a while. I predict it will be seeing a lot of pocket time for the foreseeable future. :D

I'd say Millie and PM2 would really give a good scale for most people. I'm interested to see it's proportions next to a Southard if you have one. And heck just the knife in hand would be awesome. Thanks!

I'd request a Para 2 comparison, with a thickness comparison shot too. Thanks.
