@Sharp & Fiery
That’s funny I don’t remember posting about the sheath lol but it was added I think when you posted. But I do agree it deserves a nice leather one for sure but I figure I’ll get some miles on the nylon

Thanks! The Teardrop and the Swayback Jack in cv were Case's best IMHO (I don't know why they always seem to discontinue the best ones)
Nice! That one looks fancy. I just have a basic blue plastic, but I like it a lot.

So,mb> , to get back to your question a while back about comparing the RHK Skinny Sheepsfoot to the CRK Insingo, I got out a bunch of similar blades as I was slaying a few cardboard boxes and did a bit of highly un-scientific comparative cutting. None of the knives were dull, but they varied in sharpness due to use and whether they were factory or re-sharpened edges. The BMK 550 and CRKs are, of course, HG's while the RHKs are flat ground. You can judge the amount of curvature in their "modified sheepsfoot" blades in the pic below.
Briefly, the Inkosingo was the winner hands-down for push-cutting across the grain through corrugated cardboard, despite the fact that its stock thickness was the greatest aside from the typically Hinderesque MP1. It flew through the material, but it benefitted greatly from a hardly worn and exquisitely re-profiled @halden.doerge edge. Not far behind was the 550 with the thinnest blade stock, thinnest BTE of all, and an excellent factory edge. Surprisingly the Skinny was a very close third, very near to the Inkosi in stock thickness, second best BTE at the heel, though way thicker at the tip, with the absolute best RHK factory edge I've witnessed out of the nine I've had. The 21 wasn't really sharp enough to fairly judge and the .165" stock thickness of the MP1 was an impediment to really gliding through, though my wicked sharp, re-profiled edge did surprisingly allow me to push-cut through with a bit more force than the others.
Anyway, this isn't a testing thread, and to stay on topic I did carry the Skinny Sheepsfoot again today. The bottom line here is that, despite my experience with Hinderers telling me not to pick one up for breaking down boxes, I wouldn't hesitate to grab this one to do just that.
I'll have to get out my Skinny Slicer and give that a go now too.
Thanks much man! Very nice, thorough and insightful review.
Either the Evio Shiv (below) or pikal fruit knife is a constant left front pocket carry for me every day since getting my hands on one of these. A fixed or folder is also usually carried as well. But these little nasties have become a staple of my EDC.

It was a toss up for me, but I passed on it since I’ve already tried a Smock. I’m sure it’s going to be fire when it lands! Thanks for the kind words! Stay safe brother!

No shade on that blue at all brother! I just wanted a G-10 version lol.

Opposite for me I had a few Bugouts already and one currently and so thought I’d give the smock a try. Seems like you either love it or hate it kinda like me
So figured we’d get along great lol
For sure they sold out within a few hours. I was teetering back and fourth and decided to pull the trigger last minute . Then when I checked a few minutes later they were sold out.
Back at ya Brother man
and take care of your precious little princess like I know you are and hope she’s doing well

I carried the blue Biryukov today but I wasn't too happy with my pics when I sat down to edit and post after supper, so I pulled these out of my files. I don't think these are repeats, but sorry if I've put 'em up here before.
