LM Charge XTi Camo finish

[J-sews]

I just got mine today.  I'm REALLY happy with it.

I've seen at least a 1/2 dozen Tis and a 1/2 dozen XTis and they don't seem as well crafted.  For example on all the other Charges that I've seen, the diamond file is crooked and rubs against the inside of the titanium scales.  The file on the Camo Charge XTi is dead center!  None of the implements are too tight or too loose.  It makes me wonder if quality control was an issue with some of the newer production stuff. 

I didn't think I'd like the sheath but I do!  The color is excellent and the leather is much more supple than the standard leather Charge sheath.

Unfortunately, I did notice 3 spots where the titanium is showing through--they're right near the edges.  This makes me think that the Camo will wear off.  It does seem pretty durable (much more than black oxide).  But I'm guessing it'll chip and peal off with time.  Has anyone used one of these enough to know how easily it wears? 

.....uh, I must confess, mine is a shelf queen. 

But I agree with you on the quality of the tool and of the sheath. Both are better than some other's I've seen and handled.

I learned that term "shelf queen" here...from you I think.  I was planning on using mine but since I like it so much, I might make it a shelf queen.  Of course since I like it so much I'd also rather use it than my standard XTi!  Dilemmas!
