I took three of my favourite EDC's out today and played around to compare them a little. I started to rough out a spoon but ran out of time as I was going out for a coffee with Mrs Pit !

All three are great knives but I was quite suprised that the Ryan weeks knife just edged ahead of the other two. I have tweaked the edge more to suit my needs ( Which I do with most of my knives ) but considering it's 3/16" stock compared with the 1/8" stock of the others I was still suprised !

I still prefer 1/8" ( Or smaller....my 3/32" Pitdog Mora still rules ) stock for my med/small blades but this little knife really does well even compared to other top makers work !
 
Pit buddy, for us gun guys who are intrigued by the knife world but are still in "Knife Learning 101", what are the models you are showing in the pics, & how did you get outside without your two famous international "co-stars" ??? . . . . :D
Be safe.
 
Hey pit, I don't know if I've ever said this but thanks doing such an awesome job with the consistent posting of pics and outings. You really do a lot for these two subforums that I frequent the most, especially during dry spells. U smiley-cool11.gif

1. Ryan weeks High Uinta .
2. ML Knives Short Survivalist.
3. Mark Wohlwend Bushcrafter.
 
That ML is right up the creek for me. I like a spear point style blade and that one has a nice belly.
Nice selection :)

Pit Really glad to see you out in the elements, I love that Wohlwend. I would love to hear more about the "Tweaking" you did. I am always interested in hearing what people like. I am using 1/8" steel primarily on these now. Thanks for the props.

Good stuff Pit. I'm not surprised at all tha the Ryan W. Knives- High Uinta kicked ass.
I am also with you on the 3/32" stock trip, my favorite.

Look out for a TK article on Ryan Weeks Knives!
