I'm actually a fan of this one. Looks good.
OD and coyote brown- I would send away my 14 for those colors.
 
Question. How durable is the Duracoat, compared to the stock coating?
 
I would think that especially on a small blade that's not being used to hack and baton much, it would hold up pretty damn well. That's a really cool combo there. Now you just have do some toxic green zombie ones.
 
Hey K-9 can we see the other side of the knife? Orange and white are our school colors.

Um, I baton the crap outta my 14. Its how I make it work up like a larger knife. Everyone does it differently, but I take mine to the max.

Amen! Thats what i want..
 
I do baton with my Esky if I don't have a larger knife with me (which is rare), but mine sees far more use making feathersticks, striking firesteels and gutting fish. I try to keep the big jobs for my Seven (or Machax now), and keep my small blade as sharp as possible for delicate stuff.

Not me, I get lazy, only take a small fixed, or its even gotten so bad, that I don't even want to get the 9 out of the pack. Lazy is terrible disease.

So, I know my 14 can take it, so I just beat the hell outta it. So far, its taken some pretty heavy beatings and shrugged it off.

I have beat on my 14...I don't doubt it's capabilities one lil bit! I batoned/broke-up an old, seasoned ash(I think it was ash) couch frame with my esky...never fazed it. After cutting all the heavy upholstery off the couch with it, I chopped the 14 thru the smaller frame pieces by beating it with the rubber handle of my Eastwing hammer

to give u an idea of how tough the wood was, I had to use a Fiskars splitting axe on the larger pieces...and it was all I could do to break-up the 2x4 sized frame members!
