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.

I have one on the way from GP Knives. Ordered yesterday evening; received shipping notice this morning. I'm a sucker for a sleek li'l gentleman's folder. :o :)

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?

Nothing wrong with you, once the gang starts posting up pics and discussing just how awesome this piece is you'll get sucked right back in :D

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!
