Been wondering.

Also, is there any pics anywhere of the new sheaths that are black leather and kydex?
 
Hey Nic,

I dont know what the Final Judgement weighs,but I can say this,it is very quick in the hand compared to other blades its size,And its one hell of a chopper.

As for the sheaths,Im sure if you email Eric,he would be happy to email you pictures or he could post pictures here.

I will say this,Eric Fehrman's knives are superb,I havent found a semi custom maker thats comes close to the quality of Fehrman knives.

His knives hold there edge forever,Ive cleaned out a huge pig,chopped threw pig bone and alo chopped threw coyote legs,a yote I shot with my Bow,and cleaned it out also.Other knives I used have had there edges chip when chopping threw thick bone like that of a pig.The Fehrman's didnt even loose any of its edge:eek: .It remaind shavin sharp.

I can never say enough good things about Eric and his knives.
 
I recieved my satin finish Final Judgment yesterday, and it is simply outstanding. The weight is surprisingly light for the size, or maybe it is the excellent ballance it has that makes it feel light. In any case, I could use it for hours without having to put it down to rest my wrist.
The sheath I got is the old one (I had to wait for my sister to bring it to Spain, but the knife was sent almost 2 months ago) , thick leather with an awsome stitching, but I don´t know about the new line of sheathes.
As soon as I get to use it I will post my impressions, but up to now I think it is by far the best knife I own.
 
You crack my up buddy. I've read every thread on BF (and Hoodlums) about Fehrman knives and every single thread there's my buddy Featherstone rantin and ravin about his FJ.

You know, you enjoy your FJ so damn much I think I'll just have to get me one!:p

Haha you said it man. ;) :D
 
I know, I want one too! I love big blades, and have heard great things about the 3V steel. Ron Hood mentioned that the FJ is his go to blade, and that's good enough for me!
 
Thanks for the kind words Jaime and Ryan! I have been very proud of how loyal our customers have become... the vast majority come back to buy a second (or more) knife.

Anyway... as far as weight, the Final Judgment is 19.5 oz. NOT counting the sheath.

Also...
First Strike is 17.5 oz.
Last Chance is 15.5 oz.
Cold Fury is 12 oz.
Peace Maker is 7.25 oz.

Sorry for the delay but I will try to get pictures of our new sheaths up on the web site in the next day or two.

Thanks!
Eric Fehrman
 
Feather-

Would love to see some pics of your FJ in action!!

BTW. Thanks Fehrman!!:)
 
Hey Eric,

No need for the thanks,Just giving credit where credit is due.

Now if we could get some Fehrman t-shirts made:D
 
Whoops looks like we posted at the same time Nic,

As soon as I go out in the sticks again I'll try to get some pictures for ya.
 
Mr. Fehrman,

Based on Featherstone's enthusiastic comments, and Mr. Hood's review of your Final Judgement, I've been thinking about getting one.

The question I have, and no offense meant here, is how come the FJ looks so much like a Battle Mistress? I actually prefer the satin finish of the FJ and the grip looks like it might be slightly more comfortable. As well, your workmanship looks better than the Busse. So for approximately the same money, what would tilt me one way or the other?

Any comments?

Thanks.
 
Mjolnir,

Thanks for the interest.

I prefer not to compare our knives to others, I prefer that our work stand on its own merits.

With that said... the highlights of our knives are:
* Lifetime guarantee
* extremely functional, field tested, design
* very high quality materials (3V steel, Linen Micarta, leather sheaths, etc.). We simply do not cut ANY corners.
* a "controlled" design, manufacturing and heat treat process from start to finish. Our blade design does not have any stress points, during manufacturing the blade is rarely above room temperature, and an "involved" heat treat process (3 days) that guarantee's the absolute best qualities of the steel.
* Very high level of craftsmanship. Our work rivals any semi-custom maker that I am aware of.
* super comfortable, handles. not only has the contours of our handles been worked and reworked to settle on a very useable "interface" but they also feature rubber gaskets that cushion shock when chopping, Forward and reverse "grooved" thumb ramps, and index and forward choils for multiple grips
* wickedly sharp... and they stay that way for a LONG time. All knives are hand sharpened and stropped before leaving our shop.
* unique hybrid tanto tip offers the utility of a tanto but enough belly for effective slicing.
* full flat grind, but unique 3-D grind on the tip for improved tip durability
* Available as black or satin.
* well balanced... our knives feel "lively" in the hand.
* Tool & Die quality from start to finish.

Thats what comes quickly to mind anyway.

If you get a chance to go to the Blade show, you can handle our knives at "2theHilt's" booth! I believe once you handle our work you won't be disappointed.

Hope that helps,
Eric Fehrman

Hey Eric.

I was just wondering if you've done any testing with this rubber and the bug repellent "DEET"? I know that DEET eats elastics and rubbers, as does gasoline.

I also know that when headed to the field the second (first being my knife) thing that I grab is Ben's 100% DEET bug away.

Should I be concerned with keeping this off my hands when handling a Fehrman?
 
I've only handled one of Mr.Fehrman's knives very briefly so I cant intelligently comment on how they handle,but what I would like to mention is his choice of steel which is excellent.If this is CPM-3V I have been using this in a simonich knife and its performance is better than any other steel I have ever used.It does hold its edge remarkably well as Featherstone stated and will shave after a lot of cutting and use.The edge is also more resiliant to any form of rolling or chipping than any other steel I have tried.I know this for sure I will definately get a Fehrman blade as long as he sticks to CPM -30V!
 
marsupial, you knife from me is S30-V, the stainless version basically of 3-V. In my unscientific testing the S30-V is a better edgeholder and of course more stain resistant, but 3-V is tougher.
 
We have tested with DEET, Gasoline, Kerosene... they do not seem to effect our gaskets.

To test we have poured some on, left it on all day, and wiped it off at the end of the day,... without any noticeable effects.

Also, IF you ever did have a problem we could send you a new set of gaskets.

Respectfully,
Eric Fehrman
 
Marsupial,

CPM-S30V is the "stainless" cousin of 3V... We use CPM-3V because we put a premium on "toughness". 3V when treated properly is a great steel with excellant properties. It is very tough, takes a great edge, stays sharp, and is not hard to sharpen. (Its NOT stainless though)


Hope that helps,
Eric Fehrman
