Crushing hard.

A nice sledge hammer would do some "crushing hard" or the United Cutlery M48 tactical Warhammer lol. I'm infatuated with my new CRK snakewood sebenza, its love at first sight.

Stabman, how's the Spyderco hawk for utility purposes? I like most of the design, but it always looked to me like the angular edge of the ax wouldn't work as well for camp hatchet work.

It is a payphone!
Those are becoming a rarely seen thing these days. :D

Planning to test it out on the next woods outing. :)
From a few test swings on wood and comparison to other axes and hawks, I don't think it will prove as useful as other ones I own, but I will give it a fair chance to perform.

I wish the G-10 extended further up towards the head to be able to choke up on it comfortably like the Zero Tolerance one.
With my shoulder healing up better now I should be able to find out how it works in less than a month. :thumbsup:

I’ve secretly been “crushing hard” on a CRK Mnandi. Such a beautiful gentleman’s knife. But that price, whew. The problem is that I can’t find anything that speaks to me like the Mnandi.

The Mnandi is the one CRK I do like the rest of the CRK lineup is rather meh to me but the current scale offering for the Mnandi aren't terribly thrilling.

I still am and have been "crushing" on the Norseman but their price and/or materials just keep holding me back along with their nearly non-existent availability.

Thoughts on my current obsessions?

Opinel #8 - a good affordable classic. Blade shape well suited to food prep. I don't own one. I would probably opt for the standard beech handles.

Kershaw Leek - I have one. It is well made and functions like it is supposed to. Nice blade shape for many tasks. I don't carry it much. I don't trust the detent on the assisted flipper so I use the little slide safety to prevent opening. The default tip-down clip orientation puts the spine away from the pocket seam for right-front pocket carry, which I also don't like. It is only 2-way reversible (same side of the knife) and the clip and handle design make it such that a lot of the knife extends above the pocket if you do that. The smooth anodized handle looks nice, but lacks grippiness.

Case Teardrop Jack - I have one of these in the 2-blade configuration with the zulu spear main. Not my favorite Case knife to carry. The pulls are a little weak, and the blade-to-handle length ratio looks off to my eye. I've never cared to pay up for the fancy handle materials such as pearl or abalone which turns a $40 knife into a $140 knife for nothing more than appearance. However, lots of people do, and there's nothing wrong with that. I will pay up for jigged bone over jigged Delrin. I guess we all have our levels of luxury we are willing to pay for.
