This just arrived in the mail last evening. My first 14. Took a couple quick pictures while the truck warmed up this morning. Got this one because it is O1 and has a unique Micarta handle. Plus, the guard is canted forward slightly and the swedge grind is shorter and more confined towards the front of the blade, making the blade thicker further out towards the tip, which translates into more weight out there.

It is so darn pretty though. But I did buy it with the intention of using the hell out of it. Yep, I'm going to chop and whop and baton and beat the dog crap out of it. I may even take some video of some of it's use.

So, maybe this will be my Zombie killin', firewood preppin', MRE openin', looter stoppin' chunk of Swedish tool steel.
