I've been wanting this one since it came out and kept putting it off for this reason or that reason. The other day, I found a seller selling them for less than $220, so I just jumped on it this morning :D . Now the waiting game begins.

Saw those - at that price, I am going to confidently predict you're going to be very happy. Taichung makes really nice knives, and this one is (I think) the nicest work they've done yet. Combine that with a design I really like by Brad Southard and first-rate materials and it's a winner. :spyder:
This will be my first Taichung knife. I've been itching to try one out for a while now, but just hadn't pulled the trigger yet. Based on what I've heard about the Taichung knives, I'm worried this one may turn me into a Sage collector too. :eek:

What a sweet knife indeed! I took my clip off and did a quick water bottle stonewash. I need some courser media, but I like it better than the shiny clip.

Call me shallow but appearance is a big part of appeal for me and I'm just not crazy about the looks. Most times I'm all about form following function but for the price this one is going for I need both. With knives like the Para/Manix 2, Calys, etc I've become a bit spoiled with getting performance and good looks.
