Nice review, and tempts me but ....... the standard model would be the one I would go with if I didn't already have the Mongoose. Not to mention all of my slants, straights and what have you.
For the discriminating collector the one for $1,000.00 is the entry level, the 'black blade @ $2,500.00 .......... now that is the 'ultimate'.
They ought to call those The P.T. Barnum editions AFAIC.
