The KFU Fatty Crafter
I received the KFU Fatty Crafter 6/2/12 after coming home from doing a show in Hohenwald, TN. Wow! What a knife.
First impression is good. This is a nice looking package. Knife is great and the sheath is made very well. It is adaptable to any belt, pack or system whether you are right or left handed. A+
Huge Fn handle, sweet wood and very cool liners. SS pin and thong tube with a nice etch on the blade.
Specs:
Weight - 14 oz 400gr with sheath
8.8oz 250gr without sheath
OAL- 9.210
Handle- 4.960L 1.190H 1.136 W
Blade- 4.250L 0.138T 1.100W
Edge- 4.020L
Grind- 0.799 +/-
Pin- 0.250 Thong- 0.250
Sunday 6/3 I carried it around with me all day while I did some forging. Used it to prep and devour some wonderful venison steak. The steak even left some markings on the blade.
Wednesday 6/6 was my testing day. First up is my go to destruction test. There is part of a 24 PVC water pipe at our water plant that can eat up a blade. I poked it more that a dozen times w/o damage and chopped quite a few times. The only thing hurt was my temple as a piece whizzed off and hit me leaving a mark. This pipe is over an inch thick and when chopped at, pieces sound like bullets whizzing by.
Started to chop up an 8 PVC pipe. As you can see I chopped a good hole through it. This stuff is strong and there were chips everywhere.
Cut some garden hose into little pieces without much effort. No challenge, still sharp.
