I don’t post often on the forum so I feel sometimes I repeat myself because no one knows who I am. In any case, I own some three hundred knives, most of them not the regular mass production kind. I own some pretty good knives. I have been fishing and hunting on a regular basis for most of my life.
That said, I just received my first Carothers knife, a FK2. With the exception of an old pair of Tony Bose drop point knives in 440V steel, I believe the FK2 is the best fixed blade knife I’ve had. And I make the exception with the Bose knives because I’ve used them for many years and I have never used a knife that comes close to them when it comes to dressing game. The FK2 is a new discovery. Not in vain my old friend Joe Paranee recommended it so heartedly.
For next week I expect a DEK1. I’m afraid I have discovered an extraordinary knife and knifemaker. I’m a happy camper. I already have proper leather sheaths on the way for these two knives.
