I traded into a second one a short while back but haven't carried it yet....aside from when I use it and then clean it up the original never leaves my pack.

I prefer the YJ but it's just a preference thing....both are great patterns. I'll see if I can find the pic later.

In that weight class the old school #5, and new school (uncatalogued) 4S punch hardest... and I have, and have used, them all... You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...
