#652 today
Working on the edge a little. Once I get a little better with my new belt sander and finally get my new belts from Tru Grit I may try my hand at polishing the blade. I have been messing with old tools made from heavy metals all day. The S5LE feels light.

It's better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it.

Some really high numbers here, bet with that last batch shipping wouldn't be surprised if we see them in the 700's.

I got #680 today. Beautiful knife, feels great in the hand, BUT was very dissapointed in the sharpening...no where near what I expected.

Take care.

My S5LE could barely cut butter...I have bought $20 knives that had a better edge. Not what I was expecting from a top of the line knife.

Take care.

seriously.
fiddling with a sheath i had just received, i was testing it for retention by holding the sheath upside down while shaking it....problem though is i made a dumb mistake and did it with the edge facing my hand (if it fell out)

well. it indeed did on my third shake.

i didnt even know i was cut until i saw the blood drops on my bedsheet.
it didnt hurt at all i was kinda scared, lol

such a clean slice i dont even have a scar to prove it lol

#685 is listed for sale on another site. The numbers keep climbing...
