Yummy! Is that the OG dagger ground UF1 or a DEF-2, Gus ? She’s pretty.

Thanks brother. It’s a DEF in D3V, not the updated DEF2. The OG Double Edged UF was not dagger ground or D3V.

Thanks Gus ! I’ve been trying to get familiar w/ the differences for a while now and this seals the deal. At this angle, one can tell by the guard, grind, and rounded butt, that it is the UF variant. I did not know that the DE UF didn’t come in D3V.

Btw, I like “rounded butts”!

Nathan use to hand grind the double edge on the original UF. This one is in 3V, predating the Delta protocol. I think some were made in ElMax also. The D3V DEF or dagger ground variant was introduced in a preorder when Nathan revived the UF. It started out as a dagger grind, unlike the original DE UF that had the upper edge ground on a regular UF. In the pic below, the top one is the OG DE UF Variant in 3V, and the bottom one is a dagger ground DEF2 in D3V. You can see the dagger grind is different.

The OG DE UF is Cocobolo, and the DEF2 is DIW.

Not a big whiskey guy - but a good grappa is something else …

Well, then, you're still not a whiskey guy. (I agree, grappa is pretty good stuff. Haven't had any in a while. Not big here in NC as far as I know.)

 

[ferider]

Agree - ever since had too much ~40 years ago.

But: the wife is trying You might remember, I got a Whiskey Advent's calendar Dec 1st and got to try a different shot each of 24 days.

Turns out, I like some Bourbons, for example Cheers,

I only meant that grappa isn't whiskey.

Another vice per thread title, E. Happy new year.

I wish I could find this one with any sort of regularity.

 

[Fonedork]

This was pretty good

I've never tried Grappa - it's on my list. Though I may have to order it, not sure that I've ever seen it in a shop.

I know a guy that could get you some. All it would take would be the right bribe

Cheers, BIGDORK !
