I'm not exactly going "WOW!" to be honest. Nice enough but I like the Morakniv2000 more.

Wonder what the RRP will be?

Looks like it would be a great knife for use on the water. The closed sheath and stainless steel would make it appealing for that purpose. I'm hoping they'll offer a carbon version though and will probably hold off until they do.

Is it just me, or does the exposed tang look like it is wider than the middle of the handle?

That's a nice looking sheath. I'm no good at attaching pictures, but Dave Canterbury has some pictures of the just the knife blank without the handle and it doesn't look at all suitable for rehandling. I'd say a bit of grinding would have to be done and you'd end up with a wide stick tang, rather than a full tang.

I see Johnnyboy has provided a pic while I was typing. Thanks.

That because of the notches on the top and bottom?

That, and the general shape. It's too narrow to just put scales on, and would need a bit of grinding to handle as a stick tang. I guess you could route out the shape of the tang in two separate scales and attach them, but with that much work involved there are better options out there to rehandle.
