Well, I can't top the last post (LOL!) but man, That is a cool piece of gear Christof! It would make an excellent allround camp knife, especially in the northeast .

Epic Blade! I absolutely love this knife. It'd be a pleasure taking that into the woods and I mean northern Wisconsin woods.

 

[Rotte]

Great pic.

Damn you.

 

[grunt soldier]

i would love to have that stacked with my scandi i got from you. if only i could get a custom piggy back set up. man if only i had the money

 

[koyote]

mmmm, which sheath is that? if it's an explorer (removable belt hanger) it's easy to piggyback.

 

[mneedham]

That's a great looking camp blade:thumbup:

 

[FWO]

That is a nice pattern for a blade. Nothing cuts like a wide thin blade made from good steel.

Awesome blade

 

[Rotte]

So does the spine have a slight chamfer/swedging to it or is that just the light?

 

[koyote]

mostly the light. there's a real slight top chamfer, but only about 1/128. Matched by a really slight top spine rounding, it seems to make things a bit more comfy on hands ant batons on a knife this size.

Awesome, you've outdone yourself again :thumbup:
