I'm waiting for the right EDC Revenant to call to me as well - on a day when I can afford to spend the money! The problem is that Allen knows my weaknesses, and is merciless in his strategies.
He seems to attack just when he knows my defenses are crumbling. What are friends for, huh?
But seriously, regarding collecting vs. carrying. Why don't you let me send my full sized Revenant to you to check out? I mentioned previously that I have a full sized Fighter from the Kansas City show, and it is indeed a collector piece. But the Revenant...well, while I can't exactly carry it around town, I carry this thing pretty much daily around my farm. It is a full-on user knife for me. When I'm looking for one of my large blades, it's always between my Revenant, the Bison, or a Rechsteiner Nessmuk I love that could break bones.
I'd be happy to loan you my Revenant if you have an interest. Otherwise, I'll see you on Wednesdays as we search for the perfect mini-Rev.
Douglas, that Osage is beautiful!!! Don't you love how the blue works with the orange! Congratulations on landing a great knife, in a stunning combination. I think you, me, and some guy I know up North have the Osage Trio right now.
