Hello. I must say that while understanding what the Janich knives are all about, I find the shape really good for some of the warehouse and office work I do and other things, though it is never the only knife on me.
The Yojumbo had an S90V version made, and the Yojimbo was made in 20CV (wish I had not sold that), M4 and Cruwear (which I have) in addition to the S30, so I think some EDC application was expected and intended. They also have an official version of the MicroJimbo (rolls off the tongue) now, which was being made by 5x5, custom, for a while, along with custom, flat ground Delcas/Endelas/Enduras from Mickey Yurco and Janich both. I own the VG10 Endura version and I think the thin knife along with flat grind will help it excel at EDC tasks, want to compare the difference between, say, my Yojimbo, a very thick knife at the spine but very thin at the edge due to the sick hollow grind.
The full power cuts of these must apple to some. What's your onion on the situation?
Love the Cruwear in the Yo2 and the flat VG10 on the Endura. Some pics with a Native 5 for size comp

Look at the different handles. The Yojumbo has em all beat wise of size by being 4" and 3.7mm thick while the Yoj2 is 4mm thick but that edge, man...

Thickness and length of dip - Endura, Ronin, Yoj2 and Yojumbo. The Endura is clearly the thinnest, the Yo2 thickest.
Flat compared to that deep hollow

Any use reports?
