Any word on how the different models compare?

The CS's are the lightest and most rearward weighted. The Falknivens and Hattoris are much more forward weighted. More chopper. I've only used one CS in there, a lot, and a Falkniven bowie. I' have not used the Hattoris at all. I actually sold them recently. All the others are still with me. My beater CS is my oldest one. 90's
 
Grim’s coloring is surreal!



Why not peen it straight and clean up the grind after?

I once rehandled it before I knew how to do anything....
I thought about trying it again, and if I did, I'd peen it straight.
But why not Just make a better knife, from scratch then. Haha

Tested out my new Anonimus and compared to a Fallkniven S1 that I got months ago (but still haven’t used) for fire making. I found the S1 with convex grind preferable for shaving wood and felt more confident prying chunks of bark off of a stump. I felt the 3mm thick Anonimus flex a little bit and I wonder if a 4mm version would be better. The 5mm S1 is a bit too thick for food prep but fine for wood. For regular cutting tasks like food or cardboard, the Anonimus is more comfortable and lighter.

While doing yardwork the Anonimus sheath detached from the belt loop after the screws somehow worked loose. I may rivet them together since i lost the screws, but i now agree with the consensus that the sheath is bad.
