In a recent thread I lamented about a recently purchased kumar YCS karda that while cool, pretty and nifty neeto keen did not seem to have a good use.
SO with some reluctance I ordered a Kumar Seax.
MUCH more useful design. First off it is "stabby" as hell so that alone makes it a good fighter.
But here is the kicker..... Its a good cutter/slicer to. That big long edge is a good vegi-chopper. The blade itself with its almost flat ground zero edge profile is actually good for something. It holds it own in the kitchen.
I am not ready to give up my Wustoff classics in the kitchen yet but for an all around tool with a lot of useful qualities this Seax is note worthy.
I can really see some tribal/warrior kinda guy going through life with one of these as a main stay tool.
The sheath is next to useless. Its ok as a place to store the knife or to ship the knife in but that is about it. Blade slips in and out even when the snap is closed. Not good for a horizontal carry knife.
Just a note it arrived with a lightly damaged tip. This was not noted or disclosed in the DOTD advertiment from which I purchased it. My assumption is the damage was missed since the shipping box and sheath were not compromised in anyway.
Glad I got it. The price was fair and carried with it like all HI knives the added value of making a positive impact on the lives of good working men.
I do not regret my purchase.
