It's great to see what a new one looks like in comparison - gorgeous. I love the blade profile - very useful. I must say, Tony is one hell of a guy; but most everyone here is already quite aware of that.

John, I love that green canvas micarta shadow version. Big yes, but I don't think it's too big -- while I wouldn't want to carry it in my pants pockets (unless I had a thigh pouch it would fit in), it would fit great in most vests, jackets, coats, overalls, bags, and whatever else (I *hate* carrying folding knives in sheaths BTW). The shadow version should be light enough that you'd hardly know you had it. Looks like the perfect "do everything" knife to take hiking, hunting, fishing, or most any other outdoor endeavor -- it might not be totally ideal for all situations and uses, but it should always do a good job. (I feel far safer carrying a folding knife rather than a fixed blade in situations where falls and tumbles are common and help is far away.)

Exactly how long is the blade and how long is it closed?
