No regrets buying that TIBO, Jan!  And I wholly agree, Steve -- TOPS makes a good knife!

Speaking of TOPS Knives...  

The desert tan one (some of us still think of it as beige) is the FDX 66, one of those knives that I just kinda started obsessing over so I had to have it.  Bonus was the little black leather sheath -- perfect for pocket carry. 

The little black one is the TIBO, designed by Brian Griffin.  Griffin wrote for Tactical Knives Magazine (I miss that mag).  He also writes for other publications, including Self Reliance Illustrated (& if he hasn't written for Survival Quarterly yet, I'm guessing he will soon).  He also goes by Mistwalker on Bladeforums.com.  Very knowledgable, very down to Earth, and very nice guy.  You may have also heard of him as the designer of the Schrade Extreme SCHF9 -- it's a beast of a knife.  The paracord wrap was done by him, & he also made a paracord bracelet for me using the same cord.  Pretty dang sweet.
