Besides CPK knives, whaddaya like?

[SwarthyGnome]

That's pretty cool

Yes for sure.
That being said after handling CPK it does leave something to be desired.

I think what this needs now is a snazzy sheath from Lorien with plenty of copper rivets...

Nobody here ever talks about Sleipner. Why is that ?

I asked Nathan about it once when I heard it described elsewhere as 'D2 on steroids.' I like some toothy D2, so I thought I would give it a run, but he described it as more like 'D2 lite. I liked it in the Lionsteels I had. What's that blade in your picture?

Its from one of our makers, Gollik (the larger one on the right). I don't have enough mileage on it yet to comment on performance.

I should have recognized it! The Sleipner I had in the Lionsteels was good stuff. I wasn't displeased with it at all, except I was hoping it would be really toothy like some good D2 and it wasn't. That's not a knock on the steel though, just an observation from use. I remember it accepted a really hair-popping edge, a very pleasant steel actually.

Nice !

Not a steel expert, but Sleipner has much less chrome than D2. Looks more like ingot 3V or Cruwear. Anyways, time will tell .... Thanks for sharing,

You'll like it I'm betting. I hope you post back when you get some use on it. Cheers!

AD6 !!!!! My favorite !!!!!! Nice blades my friend !!!!!!

 

[Box_Opener]

I went completely nuts trading and selling during my paternity leave (long nights, no sleep) and came away with a very different bunch of knives. I’ll get some pics here soon. Tell you what, people really want HDFKs. Even the slightest mention of mine got me multiple unsolicited DMs. It’s crazy.

Morning CPK.

 

[ferider]

I know, I shouldn’t say this too loudly around here, but I like Bowies

 

[Private Klink]

^^^ Amen Brother.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

At least they didn't do the handle and a thumb ramp like the ABS Bowies where it positions the blade just right to stab yourself in the face...


Bowies are lame (IMO)

 

[Steven65]

I have been collecting Howard Hitchmough's knives since I was 18. A long time ago! These two are both close to 30 years old.

 

[Blues]

While we're booing Bowies, these are my only examples...

...one was a gift, (Laconico), one I bought from another member on the forums many moons ago.
