Mine arrived from Steve today, and I have to say I do like it. I don't yet know what sort of stainless steel it is or how well it'll sharpen up, but the way the edge bevel is "set" it was clearly intended to be a functional "working" blade. The "accessory tools" also appear solid, functional, no more "gimmicky" than a Swiss Army pocket knife or a Leatherman multitool.

And the Xmarks crest is just too cool for words.

One of my students (who's an instructor in her own right) just moved into a new place and is having a housewarming/dinner party Sunday afternoon/evening. There will be good food and lots of adult liquid libations, which will be a perfect opportunity to put this sgian through its paces.
