    Great to hear he's gonna be doing kydex for it! I would carry it on my person, but I can't stand things bumping my legs constantly when I'm moving out in the bush. But I like the idea of it horizontal across the back. I wear a Mountain Smith lumbar pack semi regularly, so my back would be free for a system like that. Until then though I'll have to roll with it in/on the pack. (Not quite like the traditional tomahawk that you can just slide behind the belt lol)

    Waiting and waiting. Last thing @shaneadams90 said was October. A few weeks ago or less @Caleb O got one to review in an article but the mask wasn’t ready yet... so probably end of October. I checked the knife connection this morning and still no preorder option although I am on the email list for when that happens...

    I want one. Can't wait! I'd even considered putting the EXTRA (key word here) CL1 I have on the cutter and making it into a hand axe. Plenty of metal to work with. Just holding out for the real deal.

    The more I'm using it, the more I'm liking it. Working on a kuksa currently, and its taking off the extra material like a champ. IMG_5411.JPG IMG_5413.JPG

    Hahahaha! Yeah, I'm just saying, instead of modifying the extra, probably would be a better idea to sell the extra to finance the axe.

    They said originally it would be about the price of a 6 ($100-$120) but I dunno if that is still true. Maybe we will get an update eventually. After all release was moved back to October and only half of that is left...

    Trust me when I say that NO ONE wants this question answered MORE than me....I promise that person does not exist!

    The SECOND I get wind that these things are shipping I'm stopping whatever I'm doing and letting the WORLD know...

    I hate the delay, I hate the black out and uncertainty, it's just beyond my pay grade at this point...
