Not everybody's thing, but I liked the colour scheme. This is the new one in 9Cr19MoV, equivalent to 440c, no idea of the hardness, the choil is a bit meh, but the blade is a little sharper out the box than the original, and the thumb ramp a little less in the way, and it has a full visible tang. Another difference is the original had a slight hollow grind profile, this one is a solid sabre grind.

Here are a few comparison pics with the original:

See them all the time in the shop, but have yet to handle one for real.

Looks like the new version has some nice little refinements. Good they've evolved rather than just stick to a design. Shows development and taking on feedback.

In the UK, eg outdoorgb, uttings, retailing for around £90. I got lucky on amazon.com and a seller called outfitter country, who had cheap international shipping, worked out at about £60, and luckly didn't get stung for import charges. No connection to the retailers except the last one as a happy customer.
