EDKarda vs KardaBushcraft ?

[Shamr0ck]

All -

I saw a post today which referenced an EDKarda and I couldn't recall the model - so a quick forum search turned up this recent thread:

To my eyes, it appears the difference between the two models is the handle shape. Are there other differences which are more subtle?

Thanks -

The only difference is the handle shape. That is actually true of the entire line of Kardas. Same blade on all the knives.

Andy - in addition to the handle shape difference, is the handle on the EDKarda shorter than the one on the Bushcraft Karda as well? This was my understanding, which would make it a nice (more compact) EDC fixed blade. I already have the Bushcraft Karda which is a phenominal blade, and was also considering getting the EDKarda for a similar blade I can drop in my pocket.

 

[Fiddleback]

Yes. It is shorter as well. And it is a great small fixed blade for EDCing.

Hmm, did someone say...EDK?
Here are a few pics I took for another forum member for size and scale when I first got the EDK. It's perfect for me. I have smaller hands, but I think there is plenty of handle there for the larger paws as well. Perhaps this will help you decide.

Andy, what exactly are the lengths of the two handles. I've been thinking of getting Karda and deciding between the Bushcraft and the ED, so this post is right up my alley. Thanks

That in hand shot is super useful Kal-El. Thanks for it. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the karda line, which seems like a shame because they look like super handy carving machines. They sort of remind me of little versions of Andy's Kephart, or maybe the Kephart's a big version of the Karda. Either way, they both look awesome.

I second this. Thanks for the pictures, Kal-El. That is indeed extremely useful. I knew I wanted one of these knives (I purchased one, I'd hope that I wanted it haha) but seeing a picture like this makes me even more sure that I made the right choice. This knife looks super handy and does look like it deserves the "Every Day" portion of its name :thumbup:
