Rekindling this thread... I just ordered the satin M7. I've been eyeballing this knife since it came out. I am really intreged by the handle design. Looks to be very comfortable. I am also not one to jump on the large choil bandwagon, but have found that a larger choil on a bigger fixed blade lets me choke up for finer cutting. I would prefer to simply choke up on the handle itself, but if I only want to carry one blade and a larger on at that, the large choil fits the bill for fuzz sticks etc.. I am excited to get it and will try and get a little review up when I manage to get out with it, hopefully soon as it's friggen cold up here right now. I've got a laundry list of winter purchased equipment to try out. Kifaru....Lionsteel...Sig Sauer.... Aghhh!
