Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas! I haven't had time to post as much, been running around. So... coolbreezy37 coolbreezy37 sent me his dek2 to check out, and man, I do appreciate it! 20231228_174848.jpg

So far it's seen fireplace duty, batoning a few smaller pieces into smaller pieces, light prying of some pieces of wood apart, and it doesn't disappoint! Jeesh, this thing is stout! The thickness is a plus for batoning/prying.

I use this knife a bit rougher than I would use the dek1 I have, which is good. I don't let the dek 1 do fireplace duty because I'm a knuckle head.

This knifes main competitor in my household would be my beloved p&l. Now, as most of you know the p&l is my baby! The p&l has a longer blade which gives an edge for fireplace duty when splitting a little larger wood. Durability wise I think both are bomb proof, good luck breaking either one even during hard use. I think the shorter blade on the dek 2 would be better for on person carry/concealing while still providing the strength to pry heavily/break things.

Wood shaving performance is similar, though my significant thinning of the p&l gives it the advantage in this department though, I'm sure if I batonned nails it would suffer for it.I don't want this to be a direct comparison because they are different knives and sizes so I won't compare it further. I love what Nathan did here, it's right up my alley. A knife designed for dudes like me who are rough on their knives more than most. I love the sturdy tip on the dek2, a thin tip is great for many tasks and I have knives with thinner tips for those tasks, but for my all around user and beater, I like a tip I won't worry about breaking. The dek2 does this perfectly. I think it makes a solid back pack knife too for those with limited room in their pack. Weight? Meh lol if I was worred about weight I'd go on a diet. I love this thing!

Excellent! I’m really glad you’re enjoying it Chris, it’s a great knife! I never feel the weight of it. If anything, it’s very light compared to previous carry knife the RMD!

Totally agreed, it's lighter than most of my knives for sure. I'm sure an ultra light mountaineer would scoff at any of my knives. The stoutness is worth the little extra weight. On the waist the dek2 disappears, maybe because I'm used to larger knives, but to me it's perfectly sized and durability is the exact amount I desire. To much durability and its a brick, to thin and it's not meant for a caveman like me.
