Sorry folks, been outta the loop trying to keep up with all the monkey stompers and fuglies people have been ordering
Anyhow, received the blade this morning..... simplicity nothing more nothing less, and quite honestly a tool I wont mind having strapped to my belt..... I am sure there were a lot of requirements that went into the design of this blade, my only comment is the micarta handle and the seeming lack of a tactile grippy finish, would love to hear more about its development.
Now back to the sheath, this was an NDI product that BHI offered, and the design is throughly ripped off of Eagle (like we didn't expect that
) There certainly isnt anything spectacular about this design, in fact I see it as a knock on the blade.
First thing I noticed was the fake 550 on the lower tie grommets, thrown out immediately. Then there is this fold-down contrivance to ostensibly 'raise' the height of the belt carry. The proponderance of VELCRO is definitely noticeable. Would have preferred a more substantial push snap, and inverted at that ala SOE.
In short Mr. Harsey, this is a sweet piece of steel, tempered by a poorly designed/ executed sheath.... I'll do my best to come up with something worthwhile.
