Notching.
I don't think I'd use it as a full on saw. But if I had nothing else and a lot of time I guess it could work. But the notching and tinder for fire starting in the description are spot on, in my opinion.Can it function like a small saw? Or just to mske a notch?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, & noAny more usage reviews? Anyone do any Rambo like stuff with a Rambo like knife? Stick a pig, make booby traps, us as a torch, jump off of a cliff, hijack an army truck?
How about using it for a jailbreak?Any more usage reviews? Anyone do any Rambo like stuff with a Rambo like knife? Stick a pig, make booby traps, us as a torch, jump off of a cliff, hijack an army truck?
How is everyone still liking these? And are these thinner at the edge like the Anorexic Fusion Battle Mistress?
I hear ya! I actually like the SJTAC7 a little better than the Tac Saw 7!Great pic Paul! And great to see you back!
Wholeheartedly agree, this and the SJTAC 7 are great.
While I don't actually own a TacSaw 7, I do own it's older brother, the SJTAC 7, and am continually impressed by it. Was just handling and admiring it a short bit ago actually...... a regular occurrence when I play around with my knives. Can't say the same of other knives in my collection!
I regularly go through my collection to see what still connects with me and what pieces just sit there and don't get much attention so I know what I can put on the exchange to fund the next pieces.
The SJTAC 7 is regularly in the "Not going anywhere!" category. It's so comfortable and works so well for me in a variety of grips. It's comfortable in every single one. It just flat WORKS.
The edge geometry is thick enough to handle some very rough work yet thin enough to cut very well. For those that care about such figures (like me!) it's .030 behind the edge or a little under from heel to the very tip and it doesn't thicken up very fast behind this either. Really well done.
In instances where a Ratmandu just isn't quite big enough or I need some chopping power but don't want to bring out the big guns like the Battle Mistress, this is my primary go-to. I've said it before but I'll say it again, it really feels like a perfect one-tool option. You can choke up with the large choil shifting the balance point rearward meaning you can work for a long time without inducing fatigue or you can hang back on the handle and it's a pretty decent chopper. I bet it'd work great as a search and rescue tool or as a large skinning knife too.
The TAC handle, especially in this thicker variation, really feels great. I've got another new acquisition which is in close running with the SJTAC 7 for a one-tool option, the Axe Hammer, and I REALLY love this knife, but the handle is significantly thinner than the SJTAC 7 making it less comfortable IMO (but it's taller too so that helps).
I really had to resist when this TacSaw went live. The profile is even meaner looking and more aggressive than the SJTAC 7 and made it very tempting! Like others have said, it's the the Rambo knife we fantasized about owning so many years ago and it's as tough and relatively indestructible as we imagined those other inferior pieces to be.
Forgive me for gushing about the SJTAC 7 in the TacSaw thread, but most all of the qualities I so appreciate in that knife carry over to the TacSaw as well I'm sure.
