Good A great knife from Miro (@menem)

[ferider]

Just a note that I'm very impressed by the Bog Oak / Elmax knife that I received from menem / Miro last week, and to add some comparison pictures if anybody is interested.

Here are the technical details and some pictures from the master himself: Bog Oak Elmax Knife

Fit and finish are outstanding. I love the large bog oak handles, very comfortable for larger hands, also in reverse grip.

It came with a great leather sheath with good retention. To save the sheath from usage for now, I modified a Buck 119 3rd party sheath that I will use the knife with.

~6" blades are a sweet spot for me. Miro's knife fills a gap in my setup, it's the thinnest/sliciest 6" blade that I own.

Here in comparison to a CPK UF; similar but different: almost the same weight, but larger handle, thinner and a little higher blade on Miro's knife.

And here compared to a Buck 119. A little thinner even here, and much lighter (mostly due to brass on the 119):

Thanks again, Miro, for making and selling this great knife.

Roland.

Thank you for photos. The main thing is that you are satisfied with the knife. May it serve well for many years. And above all, don't cut yourself..

Small cuts are OK, Miro, part of the hobby

I feel very lucky that your second knife, the "Big Boy" arrived in the mail yesterday.

Much like it's smaller sister, I can not emphasize enough how comfortable the knife is in use. Try to capture why with some hand photos ...

Thanks again, Miro, I love your craftsmanship.

Roland.

Hello Roland. I had no idea you wrote here when it arrived. I thought something was going on... But thank you very much. I was pleased that he arrived in good order. Thank you for the praise and especially that you are satisfied. I have a smaller brother to these two in the works. Thank you for the review. You made me happy. Best regards, Miro.

Many thanks Roland. May the knives serve you well and that you are satisfied with them. I wish you all the best and good luck. I probably won't be here for a few months, I'm going to make kitchen knives for a customer. A magical photo. I like snow, today we got about five flakes here in Bratislava... Yours sincerely, Miro
