I had heard of the Officer, Lapedog, but being unfamiliar with it checked out some vids, reviews, and sales threads. Interesting knife that seems well-made, so thanks for suggesting it.
You're quite right that the SnG is a great design, all the Strider b.s. notwithstanding. Seems kinda funny to say, but I think its lack of refinement is part of the appeal--it's just a bare-bones piece with a unique handle design that fits my mitts just great. I pocketed it today cleaning up my messy shop and changing out tooling in the aftermath of completing the units and installing my art-storage project.
My dado set was caked with resin and not too sharp when I started plowing out plywood sides for all the drawer bottoms. I cleaned it up beforehand as best I could, but the hard maple rails for the pull-out shelves really finished it off and it's headed out to be sharpened now.
