Well, I only got to handle it in a knife store, so I didn't really get a lot of time with it, but that sheath was just a pain trying to stick the blade back in. I didn't actually have a problem unsheathing it, but in a pinch, it might be difficult to unsheathe and get your finger in the second hole. And it's definitely good that it handles well in a reverse grip, since that's my natural grip with most knives. But I'll definitely have to add that back to my list then. I've already got the OSS and Spartan on there, though I'm kinda torn on whether to get the AUS8 or spend the extra buck and get the San Mai version.

VD: I agree about putting it back in the sheath, it can be a pain in the ass. My OSS is the San Mai version. I just had to have at least one San Mai blade! Even if I never use it for much, it's worth it just for drooling over. The blade is beautiful and super light for a large knife.
Seb: Trench Hawk indeed, I love the thing. It flies straight and with two blades, it sticks well. Everyone should own one !

Fallen, I am officially colored jealous of your collection. You happen to have three knives from Cold Steel that I used to drool over but will never get the chance to get: the UWK, the War Head, and the Oyabun.

I think Cold Steel is making a better version of the UMK. The War Head is OK but not a real great knife, I broke the tip on the thrith one throwing it, it struck then broke. Cold Steel did send me a new one and let me keep the broken one so I reground the tip. The Oyabun is a lighter version of the Magnum Tanto is is a very quick knife.

That's good news about the UWK. As for the War Head, well, it's a 20$ knife, so that's still not bad considering. And I'd like to see them bring back the Oyabun. A lot of people would like a larger tanto, but can't afford their Magnum.

Darn Fallen
You have inspired me to finally get a list together of my collection. I have been putting it off for about two months. It will serve two purposes, one is obvious: to catalog the collection. The second is not to buy the same knife without knowing that you already have it. LOL This happened with me buying another Ontario Raider Bowie. In the last two or three days I received:
KABAR LARGE HEAVY BOWIE ONTARIO RANGER 7" RDY KABAR TDI LAW ENFORCEMENT ONTARIO RANGER KNIGHT STLKR 9" Cold Steel OSI in San Mai III Tops Steel Eagle 107C Ontario RD9 Combo edge
I am also waiting on: KABAR ADVENTURER BACON MAKER and the Boker Plus Kalashnikov

Yes I do. It has never been used. Neither one has been used. I was thinking that I would put it through some abuse.
Those are just the ones that I got in the past week.
