I like it better than the skellies some folks like. I think my hand might actually fit that handle. I would prefer a 4" blade, but 3.5" is close enough. And 154CM is a fine steel for a small knife, IMO.

Design-wise, I like that it appears to have a full size choil and less belly than the HRLM. It's not the Bandicoot LM I keep asking about but it looks good.

I think the tip to G10 will be around 4" on that little knife.. On my monitor the photo appears as 8.25" long; I think the blade length may relate to the cutting edge.

What a great little knife though!

I'm on it, Vic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This is some exciting news. I bet there will be more knives coming from Busse Group in this steel and others. This is a very good-looking knife to me. Some of us coastal folks have been asking for a good stainless knife. I was thinking Dan would be first on this, but either way, its good to know the Busses are listening to the customers. I like this knife!

Given that Eric didn't post any disclaimer about having an alternative warranty on this blade, I can only believe that they expect it to hold up to their standards! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I won't be pushing mine too hard though, I'll let Noss break his instead!

Horn Dog +1 on liking the knife!

i really like the design of the knife, but wish that it was an inch to two inches longer.

i know, i know, they already have the hrlm and rmd, but i'm not partial to a sub 4" fixed blade.

to each their own... sitting this one out*

Great looking knife! My order is in as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I generally prefer a 4.0" blade over a 3.5" blade.
But, I have tons of great 4.0" blades and I do find a good 3.5" blade to be very nice and quite handy at times.

This design looks like a winner to me. I don't want to rule out skellies forever. Someday maybe I might find one I can live with. But, so far, none have done it for me and I have sold all I have tried.

154CM should be more than fine for this knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am pretty confident Jerry will have found a way to get more out of 154CM than almost anybody and most likely better than anybody else.

154CM was already a good steel for many smaller blades (IMO).
