I just picked up Farid's D3 knife that he posted at the same time as this D6 one. To say that I am impressed is actually an understatement. Of all the Custom user FB's i have bought (over 100), i have no doubt that this Farid D3 knife is the toughest, most widely capable knife of all.
The Scandi grind is Perfect on both sides and comes to a real, useable point, not even the slightest hint of rounding at the extreme tip. The edge is hair poppin sharp which i greatly appreciate as too many knifemakers don't seem to be able to truly sharpen the edge. The handle slabs have a grippy texture and are nice and thin making the knife a pleasure to hold.
Thick handle slabs are never needed.
I almost didn't buy this knife because Farid's pictures are not inspiring and i thought that his price was a bit high for what looked like a relatively plain knife. Now i feel a bit 'shaken' in that my dithering could have lost me this knife.
I'm extremely pleased that i went ahead and spoke for it. It's a truly awe inspiring knife and worth every penny i paiod and more. The delivery from Britain is not cheap but it is much faster than i expected.
I posted this here to let other BF'ers know that so far you all have missed a rare opportunity to buy the D6 knife.
If you buy it and are not blown away, contact me. I'll buy it from you.
