Thought I'd put my two cents in before even more time passes. As stated, I picked up a EKT Companion on the first run, with extra Jade green handles (I wanted CF like everyone else, but well he only had 2!). The stock black ones are great, and the Jade green, well pictures don't do them justice. Prior to this knife, I said I'd never get any blade smaller than 3". Well, here it is, and I am not letting go! Like others have said, this thing is sharp, and though it hasn't been long enough, I don't foresee any issues down the line. The entire knife design is a homerun. Super comfy AND secure in the hands, very important when you have such a small and sharp slicer. You don't notice it when it goes on your belt. Awesome that you can easily remove the handle scales to change them out, but also to reduce the weight even further if you want and to use as a neck knife/minimalist.
Pics to come (no idea how to upload yet, and I don't want to do it wrong) but I was carrying it with just cord wrapped around it, on my belt, kind of like a katana. Then I saw the thing with IWB loops and got some of those. I'm actually using two IWB loops, leaving just enough room when I put on my belt so that I get one of the pant belt loops in the middle. As well, the holes are spaced for a large tek-lok if you so desire (confirmed).
PS: Haven't cut myself yet, only the edge of the sheath from drawing/sheathing the knife, over and over, which is so fun!
