Ordered these directly from Grayman and they came fast. Communication with them was perfect. Now on to the knives...
The dinka is about 8 inches long with a four inch blade. The balance point is just behind the center of the blade. She is a quarter inch thick and feels like it. Not in a bad way just sturdy and tough. Being carbon steel it seems easier to keep sharp than the "new" super stainlesses. I have just begun to beat on it and it seems to laugh at me each time I think I am getting a little rough. (Had an ex like that)
The mini dinka is a world unto itself. Quarter inch thick and around five inches total ... it is bomb proof. Not a bad cutter for its thickness but it is heavy for a neck knife.
The fit and finish is not the best, however, they advertise that they have the ugliest knives in the business. I do know it that is true but they sure are strong. The sheaths fit perfect.
I have a camping trip in two weeks and I am really going to abuse them then but I am fully confident that they will handle everything I can throw at them.
For the price they are the best bang for your buck in the custom knife world!!!
