I also got to handle the Yojimbo 2 at the camp and the tweaking of the knife has made an excellent knife even better.

The blade seems to be somewhat of a hybrid of the original Yojimbo and the Be-Wharned. Top blade is thicker with a convex contour (versus flat on the original Yojimbo). The thumb more naturally rest on the blade when using the Filipino grip. There is some additional contouring of the handle which for my hand allows an even more secure grip. The pocket clip seems to be slightly shorter then on the original Yojimbo (didn't have my Yojimbo handy for making an actual comparison).

Hopefully everything comes together to get this knife into production :) .
