I was looking at the Farid T1000 in the Nov Blade and was wondering if anyone has had a chance to handle and/or use one.
If so what are your thoughts and comments on this particular piece?

Thanks Chiro,
I will look that up right now.

The Farid pieces I saw at this year's Blade Show were HUGE. Imagine a REKAT Pioneer but about three times as thick. IMHO, it was overbuilt to the point of being ridiculous. If you think REKATs are for wimps (or need a good doorstop), then the Farid may be the way to go. Otherwise, I think that there are much better options on the market.

What Kelly said and not to mention they are heavy as a boat anchor. Watch out when carrying this one in your pocket, might pull your pants down

Wow, thanks for the info.
It looks like there have been some issues with his work in the past so I will wait on that one.
I would like to see/handle one up close and personal though.
