Guy has 3 of my 5.1s that he's sharpening. Not sure when I'll get them back, maybe with my 4.7, but I'll have a almost new condition old gen 5.1 in 20cv that I'll trade you when I get it back.

Great news!Even though I waited til the presale to buy my 5.1, I just got dinged and should have her in my hands by Wednesday. Now the wait for the 4.7!
Ey! I have family in Stewartsville. Super close! Given where you are do you ever go to Musikfest over in Bethlehem?
And yes that area tends to be quite a bear-heavy place.
Any of the pre-sale 3V 5.1's going out yet?
That's about what my hand looks like on the new version, so I can sympathize with ya.
The old handles are fine and fit me well. I've used them for over 2 years without any issues, discomfort or hot spots. In some cases I have worn the micarta smooth. Anyway, the meaning of my post was the new handles aren't that much longer but the new contouring on the handles make them even more comfortable. The new length also makes the 5.1 a bit more balanced than the old one. I can balance the new 5.1 behind the guard verses directly under or the guard on the old 5.1. It's a subtle difference but changes the feel of the knife.
I love that comment about balance. That is something not talked about a lot in written or video reviews, but it is a BIG deal to me and feel and enjoyment of a knife.
Just to put it out there, the old 5.1 is a well balanced knife. The new knife feels a little better.
I had a B.O.B. too as well as a Tops Outpost Command and I got rid both after I got my 5 and 5.1.
