The terrasaur model was first released as a custom model in D2 from Fiddleback Forge.

Got one, ergonomics on the Terrasaur are great and MUCH better if you slip a bit of street bike inner tube over the handle (tip: get the piece of inner tube wet with some rubbing alcohol first, well slip on easier), adds a little cushiness and is *very* grippy. Sheath is a work in progress and that *is* a Mora ripoff. Retention is with a couple of nubs on the inside of the sheath that fit in the dimple in the handle. Apparently they at first had complaints that it was too difficult to get the knife out. It remains very awkward to get the knife out of the provided sheath but retention is now not very good at all, nubs don't grip it well enough now. Ditched the sheath, looks great in a leather sheath that came with my Kizlyar Yeti but am using a sheath i made myself for it (with the ranger band handle treatment, it rode much higher in the Condor sheath with a good friction fit and made the thumb ramp actually functional which was cool but left a couple of extra inches in length to the sheath and i didn't want to cut it). Didn't come very sharp, just barely 'utility' sharp. My copy appears to have an ever so slight hollow grind and wasn't a really beautiful, perfectly even grind so went with a secondary microbevel rather than put all that work into a true scandi. Having difficulty getting it anywhere near as sharp as my Ka-Bar and i've gotten pretty good at putting fine edges on blades. There's a problem nobody's talking about - the heat treat, it may not have one. What notes i could find on it, Condor says Rockwell between 50 and 55; that's quite a spread and pretty low for 1095 (ESEE says 56-58 and Ka-Bar says 57-59 for theirs, can't find anything on the Mora Garberg beyond a note about 'high hardness'). Have suspicions that even that '50-55' may be just a ballpark. Accidentally dropped the knife about 1.5 feet, came down tip first. Didn't break. Didn't bend. It did mushroom. Seen that in lead bullets but can't say i've ever seen that in a knife before. The Terrasaur is a decent beater utility knife but you can find those at a gas station for less and with better fit and finish and decent sheath at that. But if you've got a soft spot in your heart for mongrel puppy dogs, the Terrasaur might appeal to you.

So if you've wanted a kydex sheath for the Barkie, you could buy the Real Steel for what you'd pay for a kydex for the Barkie alone, and still have a second knife "for free"...:-)
