To be completely honest, I'm not crazy about it. I love your work Ray, and what does it for me on the Blast is the blade. It's just so mean looking in comparison to your other, very utilitarian and simple looking blade designs (which are excellent I might add, but just don't work on the Blast). I really love the ricasso, slight recurve, thumb ramp, 3/4 grind, and the overall shape of the blade on it, which this new version lacks making it seem a little bland to me. But this is just my opinion, and all that matters is if you are happy with it, because it is your artwork that came from your imagination and I respect and appreciate that immensely.
