I thought I'd take two of my wacky designs out today so I could get ya some comparison shots.
Stopped off at my pooches favourite spot so they could cool down:
While they were cooling down someone else was trying to warm up :
Made a little detour to check on my baby Robins:
I've had a few messages asking about these two knives so figured I'd take some pics of them together( TTSK: John Kiedaisch );( Booshway: Mark Wohlwend ) :
Although very different knives they both share some traits. Both have big ' real mans ' handles :
Both have Micarta slabs, while I love wooden handles I feel Micarta is the way to go on knives that are likely to handle rough use. They both share wide blades that can be held in a pinch grip for fine work.
The TTSK is quite handle heavy which makes it feel very light and nimble in the hand. The chunky handle makes it comfortable to use for prolonged periods and the pointy tip allows it to drill wood when needed.
The Booshway on the other hand is slightly blade heavy which coupled with the long handle makes it quite an effective chopper for it's size.
Both knives perform great in their respective roles.
Another thing I like about these knives is that they were both made by makers who are not only skilled artisans but who are also two of the nicest guys ya could know.
