Forgive the length of this post; I'm very excited.

Got home from work today to find a package on my doorstep. Brought it inside and dug out my trusty model 5 to do box-opening chores.


Opened it up and pulled everything out...



...and unwrapped the nice brown Christmas wrapping to reveal my long-awaited new Mission!



Copper hilt, green theme, carver stag, hammermarks... sweet...



And, of course, a nice Warlander sheath!



I'm a happy man. Even happier that it got here before we leave for Christmas; we're flying out tomorrow.
