I know Dylan and his fans are very active in this forum, ande there have been many Fletcher specific threads in here so don't blow up at me for posting this here.

I'm looking at purchasing a Hatchula but had a few questions first-I shot Dylan an email 4-5 days ago and haven't got a response yet so he must be swamped.

Those of you that own one, do you feel that the blade could be used as a large 'one knife' or 'sere knife' as a large beefy blade with a slicing edge?
Or is it too hefty to reasonably use for finer tasks like carving and slicing?

How is the balance? Is the weight significantly forward or does it feel more centered?
Do you feel the tip is useable for bolting and such?

Is the convex grind a full grind, or does it have a microbevel?

What approximate angle is it at?

Does anyone know a particular leather worker who has experience making sheaths for the Hatchula? If you have one, can you post a picture?

If you could reduce the width of the blade to 2.25 or 2.00 inches, would you?

Thanks in advance for any input!
 
I wouldn't mind seeing these questions answered. You might want to try this at the Fiddleback Forge forum too. I know that Andy has said all Fletcher knives posts are welcome there.

Email answered bro. Sorry, I got backed up like a cheese-turd this week.
 
By the way, and I don't mean this as a smack on PayetteRucker or anything, but if you guys could ask questions in the Fiddleback Forge forum or in emails, that would be best. Thanks guys. I just don't want to invade the ESEE forum with too much non-ESEE talk.

Thanks broski. I always gotta try to give the ESEE people the respect, ya know. After all, ESEE is a big part of why I make knives and my business style. Who knows... maybe sometime soon I'll even get into the production knife game. (hint hint ....that's right. Let that sink in for a minute.)
