Fresh outta the box after a few flips and out onto the deck for its first home pics is my brand new HalfTrack. I had a loaner from one of our posters here for a couple weeks and my opinion of the knife swung 180 degrees over that time from meh to totally missing it when I boxed it back up to return.
I've been looking around for the right one for a while and was surprised that I kept coming back to this one as it was outside my initial preferences. I'm really digging the working finish and battle blue slabs now--my others are all plain stonewashed blades and handles. I've heard that working finish takes a while to break in for decent flipping action, but this one's pretty good right out of the box. It'll be getting lots of cycles over the next few days for sure....
