That is a beautiful knife! My only problem with the KBar Grizzlies is that you need a pair a tweezers to handle them. That is an exaggeration of course. I just recently received one that was built by Smallfoot, and there are pictures of it at the Atlanta Knife Show. My problem with it is it's size....
