Thanks for the kind words, Billy. That 24" axe was a sweet gift from my youngest son and is an unbelievably handy, well-made tool. Of course it didn't take him long to whack away at something with it and seriously ding up the edge as he can be pretty hard on tools. I thinned it back a taste with a paddle grinder and re-edged it to restore it to proper working condition.
I've got two RHK Skinny's--that No-Choil Slicer and the Sheepsfoot I posted a little later--and you're quite right, as the action on them is indeed stellar. With the ball bearings installed, which is how they both came to me, they flip out as nicely and reliably as one could want and they drop closed nicely damped under their own weight. Hinderer got these just right and, while I love my each of my other RHKs for their own particular attributes, the Skinny's are my undeniable favorites.
Beautiful scales.Carried for micarta Monday but forgot to post, so I carried it again today.

Those are both amazing. I saw a video of the bottom one. It has an amazing hollow grind on it.Flipping between these two.. still haven't decided which is my favorite.
