Grohmann Folders

[rcoulas]

Hi I've been thinking of buying a Grohmann folder and was wondering if anyone has been using one for a while and how do they stand up. They are a good size and seem to be built well. I have a Grohmann #4 fixed blade and I like the blade and handle design and the folders look just like a folding version of the #1.

Seen one, handled it, and would unreservedly recommend buying it. The images over the net do not do it justice. Gorgeous knife, and the only reason I haven't bought one yet myself is price tag and impending wedding .

Trying asking in the traditional folders and fixed blade section maybe?

I like that knife.. but if I wanted a knife like that I would just get a Buck 110
(like the cabelas one with s30v steel)

Yeah, Grohmann's fixed blades rock. I've got an Original Design and a Mini Skinner and love them both with a depraved unholy love . I'd disagree on the Buck, though; IMHO, the fit and finish on the Grohmann is better (not that the 110 isn't a great knife), and everybody and their brother-in-law don't own them .

Sorry to take so long to jump in I don't have that particular folder, but I have their Featherweight one. I've actually had it long time - it's a nice folder for the money. Very light, holds a good edge. It's got a riveted pivot and mine's been used to the point where there's a bit of side to side play, but that sure wouldn't stop me from buying another one I also have the Grohmann #1 which gets permanent kitchen duty (I don't really camp that much any more) and the Mini-skinner. I also have been eyeing that particular folder plus the survivor fixed blade.

Thanks for the input everybody, I think I'm going to get one. The #4 survival knife is great Gord, I've had one for a while and I like it alot. The design offers great blade controll for a fairly large knife and it holds a good edge. Mine has the carbon blade and rosewood handle as I wanted a knife to beat up in the bush.
