I don’t know. For a traditional forged blade it looks a little “busy”. The red ink in the TW stamp is nice, and teh overall shape appears to be a little boxier, which I like, but I’m not really a fan of the V R stamp for Victory Red or the brushed bottom half, or the red dividing line. A simple classic blade, all chrome with the swoosh and a TW stamp would look sharp.
