That's strange, I've had several responses... What is it doing?

Edgeoflife · Mar 6, 2020

Worked fine for me. Pretty cool!

I filled it out as soon as I got the email, that clip point is awesome! I don't have a 940, but I might need to buy one just for this...

REK Knives · Mar 6, 2020

Great to hear!

Apparently I missed it when designing the survey... but Surveymonkey limits me to viewing 40 responses or else I have to pay a good bit to use their services... not sure if I'm gonna do that or not right now, I guess it depends how many over 40 I get lol

So far it looks like M390 in the straight spined sheepsfoot is the winner... w/ the angled spine sheepsfoot close behind. But since I'm gonna grind these by hand once again I will have some leeway probably.

Edgeoflife · Apr 1, 2020

Looks like an aggressive cutter.

Yeah but it's already slightly shorter than the factory one.

I'll try to get a comparison shot soon

I already have a couple of your clips.

I was thinking 2.0"-2.1" clip length.
