Nothing wrong with the topnserrated edge, but
I’m not a fan.
Think I’d prefer a flat sharp edge to use with a ferro rod….
but that’s just me…
Hrrrrmmmmm. What have we here?
Price wise it’s around $55.00 Canukistani… which puts it in striking range for cheapskates financially responsible people. That’s on par with my el cheapo Mora… and like the Mora puuko knife… it has a loyal following and its adherents are smitten with it.
Apparently the factory edge isn’t the best but it can be stropped to a ferocious edge with a little time at the whetstone. I love the built in bottle opener, and the blade and belt retention on the sheath - both superior to the Mora, IMHO. I’m not going to ask Santa for one because those advantages don’t make it worth replacing my Mora… but I’m thinking this one might be a tad better for the serious bushcrafter…? If I were a serious bushcrafter it would be no contest. But I like the Mora as a hunter and angler.
The bitch I hear about both knives is that they only have a partial tang - which is the part connecting the knife handle to the blade. Theoretically both knives are susceptible to breaking where the blade and handle meet. But… the only legit way I see it happening is if you baton your firewood…? And I always have an axe or a hatchet so for me that’s a non-issue. But… personally, I think you’d need to be a retard or a road rager to do it even then. But whadda I know?
Any a youse guys have one of these in your plunder? What are you making of it?
