Mine arrived Saturday.
Im very impressed by the quality of the workmanship, it looks and feels bomb proof. First thoughts were that it feels light, but its about the same weight as army surplus ones. Its a bit bulkier, but it still fits snugly in the Viper large modular pouch (which I use as a butt pack) with room for about 10 m of 11mm rope below it.
Its a classy bit of kit and I, for one, am glad I did decide to shell what at first glance seemed a lot of cash; its worth every penny, IMHO.
Thanks to all concerned in bringing this to fruition. :You_Rock_
