Thanks Nate for addressing everything you covered. I saw the drop, and started trying to do my due research before investing, actually ended up getting one before you chimed in. I am glad you did however, as some of that info, though I'm sure is available if you know where to look...I just couldn't find. I'm very much looking forward to receiving the blade, and upon more poking realize there is a velcro sheath for some of your knives. Will those be available in your website store at some point?
