That’s beautiful! The profile of the blade is really cool. Reminds me of a kiritsuke with a more curved belly. For food, it looks like it would be perfect for people who prefer rocking method of cutting. How long is the cutting edge?

Thank you. Been a long time but IIRC it was around 8”.
I always preferred a little belly. Flat edges can end up recurve if not sharpened properly. I see it all the time in the restaurants I deal with.
I 'spidyied' it on E-Bay of all places I visit and made an offer, He bit. I knew it was his favorite knife, as he sent me a note saying how much he loved it and hoped I enjoyed it as much as he did. The 'Damascus' blade work is outrageous, as is the rest of the knife...5" blade, He sent along a South African Tax invoice dated 2001 for a deposit for making knife.

Don't take this the wrong way but, if you're going to lose knives... Chinese knives fill the bill...
Trying to not sound like a dink, and after much soul-searching, this was what I chose to reply with. ^^^

Kinda looks like a quality pen in a shirt pocket... Green would draw too much attention... But looks nice.

I don't normally lose knives. I'm still thinking the CEO is in a box of stuff that we'll probably never unpack. I know they've got cool new versions of it but was thinking of going with a different one. I know CIVIVI gets great reviews and the price is certainly right.
Also the CEO can look like a pen in a shirt pocket but it's actually quite heavy and weighs the pocket down too much. My full-size bugout is noticably lighter.

The Civivi came in. A little thicker than I would like but it's not super heavy. The flipper is a little awkward to use but works well.
Kizer feist, quiet carry waypoint, and tactile turns new one are similar for size and ride slim in the pocket !

Those definitely showed up on my initial search. I'm still not sure how I feel about those one piece handles. When I decided I wanted Damascus it narrowed it down to prettyuch only Civivi for what I wanted to spend.
They both have scales, not integral frame locks

A Bravo S/E sold for $500 USD on EBAY, and are listed for #325 USD on the MicrotechGear website but OUT OF STOCK.
Some websites show a prototype at $1500 USD.
Not sure if heron163 has a genuine or knockoff....

That's giving me Gil Hibben vibes.
If you haven’t already look at the 940 full size. It is very slim in the pocket and plenty of options for scales and blade steel.
