Same here - and i like the new one even better (having only seen the pics)... I can't wait to have a variation of what has become my favorite "Unknown Purpose" blade... What i love about this knife is that it does do so many things well. It's a knife i want with me when i don't know exactly what kind of exigence might arise or what kind of scrape i'll need to stab/slash/chop/hack or dig my way out of. And if it stays in its sheath, that's ok, it's not too big or heavy to be a burdon at all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
