I've heard some people say that they didn't like the size of the choil on this one (too big). It looks okay to me. Is the choil really that much different than on the other models (those with the rounder choils), or does it just appear to be because of the rectangular shape? Thanks! P.S. I'm still leaning toward brown handle/sage blade and green handle/gray blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Dan posted a picture of the S5 next to another blade with a rounded choil - it didn't look much bigger than the normal rounded choil, so yes, the square shape does seem to exaggerate the size of the choil. We won't know for sure until we've held it in hand, or seen some in-hand pics.

I don't think that this choil will be too large, it just has a funny shape. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Here's hoping that it is comfy and useful.

In fact, if you align the 2 edges and reposition the blades so the choils start at the same place, you will notice the square choil is actually smaller... There is more cutting edge on the S5. But, again, it's so little as to be irrelevant. ![[Linked Image from overlandrover.net]](http://www.overlandrover.net/S5_Choil.jpg)
