No. Gah. It's lovely, and it's my favorite, but I can't say it's my most comfortable of all. The Battle Horse Smoky Mountain model is my absolute favorite. I resent selling a saber ground model but I can't afford to keep all knives I like alas. The Fiddleback, Osprey, and Shannon Carter are the most comfortable if you stick a gun to my head. Their handles are meant for my hands.

I am a bit conflicted posting that, there's not a one of the knives I put up that can't get the job done.
If I were too concerned with reselling, I'd have a hell of a time comparing against any of the others. Fortunately, I don't plan on them going anywhere.

I have had a few fiddleback knives, I think the bushcrafter was a great design just a little narrow, and the hunter I had was perfectly thick for my hands. I'd say my dogwood Hawkins is my most comfortable, and I'm excited to see what the new ergos do for my s! Knives.

Awesome! That really takes some skill.
It looks like I need to keep practicing.

4.1 3v reprofiled to 18° per side and polished down to .5 micron.
Very nice, which sharpening system did you use?

That is insane! I feel like I'm looking at a Barbie doll from behind.

Ok you have convinced me. When my 3.5 pre-order comes in, she will be heading straight to my wicked edge as well. Gotta love that polished edge and the results.

I tried driving the 5.1 into a stump and feathering that way, I felt like it took more finesse which is strange. Probably just need to practice more.

A couple of matches I was playing with. Not as good as some of yours. Working on it. [emoji1]

Amazing. Fat, contoured handles and you can safely get your index finger right up next to the edge. Can't wait for the 3, hope the 6 gets the same treatment.
