Congrats! I hope they meet your expectations :)
The ARK is a handy little knife. Mine has seen quite a bit of use.
For the past few days I've been carrying my titanium Byrd Hawkbill or LBHB along side my PE Native Salt. They make a great pair!

Thanks!! Especially in hotter weather I’m usually zooming around in what amounts to a bathing suit and lost a brand new DF2 earlier this summer. Enter the ARK worn as a neck knife (my first non-rescue fixed blade). Even just a couple weeks in I’m sold on the concept of a tool like the SE ARK as a general use knife. Sooo easy to handle and keep clean. If only it were a wharncliffe shape or something like a chaparral blade size/shape! I’d purchase a few.
Many of the trails around me are starting to get overgrown so I suspect that hawkbill will see a lot of time as well.
