Re: Show off your latest purchase
This arrived today, but it's getting dark out and my good camera battery needs to be charged, so some crummy cell photos will have to do for now. Good pictures to come tomorrow. I've had it out of the box for about 5 minutes so I don't have all that much regarding impressions. I'll let you know what I think though thus far, and the pictures are taken with the knife already present in my collection that I feel is most comparable.
It looked to me from pictures that it would be most comparable to the Delica (And I was right), but I thought it would be the same size because the handle and choil-less design is so similar. It's definitely smaller than the Delica, and doesn't look it very much in the pictures but it is shorter and definitely feels smaller in hand. I can already tell that this thing is going to be riding watch pocket above my BattleStation. Fit and finish are awesome, and it feels great in hand, though I wouldn't want it any smaller to be sure...and wow is that tip ever pointy. I'm digging this thing for sure...very cool knife. Better pictures tomorrow and likely more detailed impressions.

Can't really afford any new purchases right now, but sometimes you find a beautiful piece that you have been hunting for and the owner is willing to make a trade. :)
