Have been out of the loop for a little while. Went into the hospital last week for a double hernia repair. Was hoping to come home the same day ... but you can never plan for everything! Ended up staying there for a tad longer than I wanted to. BUT, when I did return home (shortly before my birthday) ... received a WONDERFUL get well / happy birthday gift in the mail from a super thoughtful and generous friend. He knows I like smaller knives and sent me this one from his collection. It's a Steve Vanderkolff interframe slippy with some really nice mammoth tooth. The CPM 154 blade is right in my target range ... at 2.75". Will cherish this one forever! Not sure if it will help me recover sooner .... but it will make the journey far more enjoyable!!
