Fullrs: Not many knives with fullers out there.

adds strength

Misconception. Increases strength to weight ratio but not absolute strength. In fact, once the fuller is ground, absolute strength is a little lower than before.

It’s been mentioned, but I don’t think we actually have a picture here in this thread yet…

How did you come to this conclusion?

That middle knife grows on me every time I see it... normally I'd say it's "too busy" but something about it visually speaks to me. How is it, I rarely see them. It is one of there models I try to watch
Thanks.

It's a Spyderco model designed by Ed Schempp called the "Tuff" in 3V. They had reintroduced it a year or two back in another excellent steel, I think Cru-Wear. It's a big fella at over 6 ounces.

(Got mine from a forum buddy.)

Yep, I have the Cruwear version.

I think I read through the whole thread and don’t remember seeing a picture of a Ka-Bar even though it was mentioned, so I thought I would add one.

One fuller is insufficient (so is one blade).

Fuller Friday but on Tuesday.

Love those micarta, especially the vintage looking brown /red, are these still produced?

Yes, hence the “Apparently” as it never made sense to me but look pretty cool

There are still plenty of midtechs in stock at DLT. Vehement Knives K2, including some in the gloss natural micarta. The Firedog canvas was a one-off custom, and the hand-rubbed satin finish was also not a standard option

I have had multiple opportunities to by the Schempp Tuff -- the original & the Sprint -- but they just never appealed to me. However, I do like how the fuller on the Tuff is sometimes referred to as a "blood channel." LOL!

I think that the Tuff is the only Spyderco designed by Schempp that I've never owned (including several of his smaller ones that I've bought & sold) but I still can't bring myself to buy one.

However, I bought one of Schempp's EuroEdge folders as soon as I saw one, mainly because I have a thing for daggers. The fullers make the blade look more attractive IMO.

These are stock pics from the Net but mine looks just the same.

Unusual fuller for deployment on this one.

Was this your issue knife?

 

[The Zieg]

Does the nail nick on a Buck 110 count?

 

[Culprit99]

Was this your issue knife?

Yes - well, technically it wasn't issued. I bought it new with my own money in the fall of 1995 for less than $30 and have drug it across four continents. The finger guard is a little loose, but you won't hear me complain.

Absolutely!
