Chinook Rocks!!!

[sing]

Sal,

Congratulations! The Chinook is a heck of a knife -- great materials, excellent fit and finish, incredible lock...

Reminds me of my Crawford KFF with incredible heft, solid feel and great ergonomics.

My only nit pick would be that for a MBC, the top swedge should be ground a little thinner like the Native. Those who are into bowie play can then sharpen to their liking.

An excellent knife for the $. Would love a drone for this.

BTW: What's with the #655 on my blade?

Sing, is the Chinook about the same weight as the CRKT KFF? How does it carry in your pocket? I had a KFF and found it to be very heavy for daily carry.

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

The KFF is about .5" longer and 1/8" thicker in the handle. The Chinook is not as heavy but close. It's a beefy knife. Either you like it that way or you don't.

If you look at my post on the Chinook, you will see the Number 243. Spyderco numbers the first 1000 knives! So your Chinook is one of the FIRST PRODUCTION RUN KNIVES!!! Congratulations!
