HDFK: Random Impressions

[Gusbuster]

Congrats J! That's a sweet looking knife!

Thank you kindly sir. It was ManOfSteel89 who made it happen for me! It just looks so beautiful! I'll take some glamour shots of it soon, before I put my battle scars on it!

Looks great! Can't wait to see pics of a second one getting some use.

With all these great pictures and reviews, I can't wait to receive mine. I was very late into the game but I really wish I can get mine before Xmas this year.

An HDFK for X-mas is what I want as well. Maybe two

For anyone wondering... Sagewood's kydex adapters in the Medium size fit this sheath perfectly. Good way to set up a belt loop, different dangler, or even carabiner dangler.

Thanks for this, I was wondering the same thing. I have a spare medium dangler adapter floating around somewhere so I’ll order a sheath whenever I get a shot at a HDFK.

How does the handle width of the HDFK compare to the "old" FK? Has anyone posted pics of the tops of the handles side by side?

 

[TRfromMT]

The HDFK handle is, well, more HD. The FK handle is slender, by comparison. The HDFK handle is honestly a lighter version of the LC handle. A nice, meaty handfull. Someone surely has some photos to post. I'll see about getting some this weekend.

 

[Skrapmetal]

I will see if I can get pics to compare the three later.

The HDFK is indeed closer to the LC handle than the FK. It actually feels a little meatier in the width/swell than the LC when I switch back and forth between them.

The hdfk is a handfull! Next to the o.g. fk

Yeah! That looks like what I'd like on the FK. Hmmm...

Thanks for posting that.

So... who wants to make some leather for these...

I may have a spare one that could be used as a pattern. Maybe.

For which one? The NASK / HDFK? @grogimus is doing an identical set for both my Behemoth and my NASK, both with unbuffed canvas black micarta handle scales. Probably photos to post in a couple of weeks.

This knife is damn near perfect
I want to echo what has already been said, that it feels solid and at the same time, much lighter than it should.
It is also smaller than I thought, I think photos portray it to be larger than it really is...which is great in my books!
It is about the perfect size for me.

Thank you @ExtraBaconPlease for helping me out!

Congrats!

Trying to be patient as I await my pre-order. No me gusta.

Idk what Gus has to do with it but you’ll have your knife soon I’m sure

I think he's trying to say that he's no Gus!
