You're lucky. I just last weekend bought my first good fixed blade which arrived by post this morning. I would have waited if I'd known Doug was planning one.

The one I got, after many hours reading the forums, was a Fällkniven WM1 Sport. I wanted something simple but strong, with clean lines that would be easy to keep clean, and wouldn't look too threatening. Now that I have it I am realising I should have asked for a longer blade. This one is as long as the mini-RSK (about 2 3/4") but as thick as the full RSK. It seems like a good, well-made knife. I suspect I'll end up buying the new Ritter as well.
