Just wait a while...save your pennies...and then check with me. I might turn loose of mine IF it ever arrives!

I appreciate that. I'm hoping you like it, though.
You get a chance to put the Vex to some use yet?

I've not had a chance to do much other than look at them next to my computer. Between the planting / weeding in the garden, building 30'x4' temporary run for our pullets, and the two deadlines at my "regular job"...I've been busy.

I really like the feel of the Vex.

Oh, so the other one arrived? Does Mrs. Arch like hers?

The other just arrived.
She really likes the design. They fit her hand better than just about anything else we've tried, and she likes the blade shape.

That's great to hear. Hopefully after some use they have a permanent home with you.

One other thing I dig about the "new" Vex, is the tip.
It is just rock solid, and feels like one that can be pounded on forever, and never fail.
Recently I batonned a ton of wood for a campfire with only that little Vex. And it just took the beating and asked for more.
Having only one pancake, leaves more room for bacon!

Now you guys are making me want to "get out there" and complete some testing!
If I could have more of anything it would be TIME!

That's great to hear. Hopefully after some use they have a permanent home with you. I hope so too. I'd like to stop playing "blade of the week" and settle into a set of "go to blades".

Randy,
I prefer a small / light knife for detail tasks. The LM line has a small blade that's pretty thin, but the handle is large enough to be functional. You see the meaner as a good utility/tactical/fighter?
