Besides CPK knives, whaddaya like?

I just got these yesterday and put some RGT micarta scales on the Maverick and one of the Native 5s. The Native 5 is one of my most carried knife models and I've been anxiously waiting for the Crucarta version so I picked up a couple.

These new Crucarta Native 5s have an extra bar inside that the G10 models don't have. I'm not sure if it's just a bit of extra strenth for the micarta maybe? But the RGT scales don't have the cutout for it so I took those off and I'm going to trial run it this way awhile. It's centered perfectly and actually feels smoother without the bars ... but it may change long term.

The Tactile Maverick caught my eye awhile back and I finally gave in and got one ... it's very lightweight and I really like the blade shape and size so I'll see how I feel about it after some time carrying it.

I also grabbed have a set of green TeroTuf scales for the second Native 5 to match the EDC 1.2.

Depends which sword of course. Some are very capable.
I mean. There are variables. Are swords only to go to renaissance fairs in the 21st century??

The K20 is not some heavy sword shaped object, it is a real and proper sword.

It is a weapon, I would not use it to process firewood.

That would be like plowing a field with a Ferrari instead of a Lamborghini.

Felt this was totally appropriate to repost here. 100% agree with Nate on this one. Sure, you can make a long sword that will stand up to chopping firewood, but it’ll be a tragic piece of shit as a sword, and the guy you’re facing with a real sword will likely cut you to ribbons with his.

Agreed..... and I've watched a K20 decimate wood too

That thing goes beyond design and purpose , I forgot how many beers cans I can slice in half in 1 cut lol
