I've been carrying it non stop since I got it. I own 3 940s, a fact, bugout, 943, and I'm forgetting one. Beside that I own a sizable collection of quality knives from other brands too.
I bought this thing as a novelty thing.. I usually carry a 940-1 or cruwear pm2 as my all purpose working man knife, and a smaller blade because you don't need or want to whip out a tool of mass destruction for most household everyday things. It had to compete with the pakkawood delica, caly 3 HAP40, sage 5, the 0450 series etc so I didn't reckon it would get much pocket time. I didn't like the bugout much neither, never clicked with me for some reason. I like me some lightweight knife but the scales, the flex, the blade shape, they are all adequate but not to my liking.. So I took the gamble on this pardue and wow.
It ticked all the boxes I was looking for in a lw knife. Thin grind, great nearly spearpoint bladeshape, s90v which I have come to like a lot since I found my optimal sharpening method for it, the sturdy textured g10 scales that nearly completely hold all of the blade concealed. The thing fires out.
I've finally found my ideal ultralight knife it seems, and it even looks amazing!
Red marker on the bevel was because I intended to set a proper bevel that day But it was too bloody hot haha! It came fairly dull, but now it's a little lightsaber.

S90V- Is this the proper blade for a steel soooo tough to sharpen?
That is not a sarcastic question.
