Nice collection!What handle feels the best in your paws?

The Asp doesn't look very much smaller than your SP, in your pic.

If it's not too much to ask, when you have the time- It would be nice to see a comparison pic of the Asp on top of the SP.

Thanks Joe, I'll upload pics later but truth be told the most comfortable is actually the big sneaky, with the reg. sneaky coming in a close second thanks to the miracle of shadetree burlap! The Asp is definitely narrower, and the poor lighting in my kitchen doesn't show the swedges too well, but its pointy as heck. Oddly when compared to a Kephart I used to have, the blade shape is eerily similar hence my selling the Kephart. The Asp can (probably) do everything the Kephart could do in 1/8 and I am still benefitting from the SP style handle which I love!
 
Here are a couple of photos of my Hiking Buddy from today's woods trip...





 
Man, I really love my Shank as well as CPM154. I used my Shank a lot today- cutting lemons, onions, tomatoes etc at a bbq (Sorry no pics. I didn't want to be that guy). Let me just say, it's light, it's sharp, it's tacti-cool, and it bites! It is a very nice, practical EDC. For those of you that baby your Fiddleback in fear of it rusting or even gaining a patina, CPM154 is the steel for you.

I really look forward to using this blade and having fun with it. Pic heavy review coming soon...

The full height grind does little to show off Andy's gorgeous spalted steel...so I hope to get another one or a Duke later that has some spalted flat left, but by damn it's a cutting chopping machine!

I wanted a bit of spalting on mine so this is what Andy and I agreed on:


The grind is pretty high and it cuts very well (tree didn't stand a chance)

I do like the full height grinds for slicing and all, but I definitely like the look of the spalting. I doubt I'll do many more full heights.
 
Mist, I used to stay away from the full height grinds, just because of visual aspects, but after using a full height grind 1/8" Bushfinger... WOW! I was in love! It's cool everyone had different tastes and uses, or we would all be fighting for the same knife! :)

I didn't say I wouldn't get any, I said I wouldn't get many...huge difference :D
