Nice review!
I had mine out this morning for a first test, too; brought my S5LE along for comparison (sorry no camera). I have to say, I like the WD, but the S5 is still #1 for me. The WD is a sturdy tool, but for moderate cutting / slicing chores the S5LE worked much better. I also find the mudder handle fits my hands better than the new design and was also thinking of slimming and rounding the butt end a little. Definitely a secure grip though. I think the WD will really shine for harder force required jobs because the edge is probably more durable (thicker)and the blade is thicker. Still, a good hard-use tool.
Thanks for the report and pics.
