Placed an order yesterday and got a shipping notice today.

The real question is..... who is going to use theirs?

Can someone measure the edge bevel thickness with calipers? I'd personally love to see it a true zero grind, or just a tiny microbevel, but from what I saw the edge bevel isn't all that small.

Planning to - Seems like a good office carry. We'll see how it feels in hand... It's going to be hard to push the new Chaparral out of my pocket 9-5.

One is on its way from BHQ right now, second pre-ordered from KC a long time ago. I will most definately use one, should go great with a companion like a military.

So, I just jumped on the deal list in the "other thread." So now I have one additional knife on order from KC. This was not the original plan. This begs the question, if I end up with two, what to do?

p.s. I am thinking maybe I will go the custom scale route?

I wasn't planning to get it, but you guys made me think again. Hopefully they will be sold out before I decide.

The scale material is the main attraction for me in this knife. Still thinking how it would fit in my 2017 knife budget. Clays draining it a lot.

I'm going to use mine for sure. One of my self imposed rules is I must carry it from time to time and at least do some basic knife tasks with it.

I don't have a caliper to measure but can put it up on a ruler with small mm measurements. I'm not home for a couple of days but will get that pic when I return

Looks like it's still in stock in a couple places, but I don't imagine it will be for long. I believe they only made 1,200 of them. Get it while you can!
