Gave The Aurora A Workout!

Razor · Jan 10, 2009

I see now why people likes this knife. It cut like a lazer. I cut down about 15-20 cheddars, stuck the knife into the ground several times, and it was still sharp. The handle was comfortable in any way you held the knife. I got the feeling, that alot of time and work, went into designing this knife. Wonder if I need a spare,haha.

All the reports I hear about them are always very favorable especially in terms of handle comfort. Of course, if you persists in sticking the knife in the ground, then yes you should get a spare

I figured it would turn out this way.

Glad you gave it a chance to shine.

Cheddars? Were you cutting the cheese all day?

I think the Aurora sets the standard for a full sized, bombproof bushcraft knife. Some folks may want one that's lighter, but the Aurora is the ultimate.

I can't agree more. But after seeing the review you did on the BRKT Kephart Full Tang I had to run out and get myself one too. Now I'm conflicted as to which one is my favorite.

The Aurora is just one of the quintessential field tools.

I thought that you would like the Aurora if you got your hands on one.

I had the good fortune to use an Aurora in a pass around. It is an amazing tool, very light for its size, and very well balanced as this picture shows.

HDW I have two Auroras,one older,one 2008 vintage. the 2008 is way lighter and,for me, way nicer.
Razor,tell me how to get to the forest of the cheese trees,mmmm good. Jokes aside,it is probably not a good idea to stick knives in the ground,never know when you are going to find a rock

I desperately want an Aurora. I'll get it... in six months...
