Hopefully, I'm allowed to say this here...if not, I will remove upon request.... I just purchased the TRC Splinter. In my opinion, well designed, well put together, great knife. Love the blade and handle profile. The handle is very, very, comfortable in my hands. Very clean razor sharp edge. Inspired by this thread, and having some trout on-hand, I set to cleaning and eating them. This knife made short work of the fish. Major faux pas, I know, no pictures. They wouldn't compare to the photos in this thread and I was just too hungry to try my severely amature skills fiddling with a camera before eating. Mike
