So I got out for a hike again yesterday, my JK saw the California countryside for the first time :) As it says in the title, I was only able to get a couple of glamour shots. My buddy and I both had halloween plans for last night, so we just wanted to get a quick hike in; there wasn't much time to sit and really put the knife to some wood or other tasks. I will, however, post better shots and a review (probably will be my first knife review) when I get back out and can devote some serious time to it.

I was able to confirm a few things for myself though. The handle is indeed fantastic, great job on this one John. The knife also balances well, and feels like an extension of my hand. Nice and sturdy too at 3/16" thick. While I generally prefer straight-backed and not so dropped-point knives...this one certainly grew on me very quickly. I'm loving where the tip is, and it's a very robust tip as well. Great grind too, and I look forward to tuning up the edge. All in all, very pleased with this knife and I look forward to working this one hard.:thumbup::thumbup: It really does beg for work. I used to think that was something people just say about JK knives...but I realize the truth now :D

I figure I'll try to appease you guys with some hike scenery since the in-use shots are lacking:o:D.

Again, thanks John for a really awesome knife! :thumbup::) What a great first JK for me!

Oh, man - gorgeous pics! California looks beautiful this time of year.

That looks like a spiffy knife - reminds me a bit of my JK-AK, but with a slimmer handle and more of a spear point (which I like).

All the best,

- Mike
 
Thanks for answering Jim's question, John :thumbup: The front near the blade is dark from mineral oil when I wiped it down the other day.

Mike - I do like California best in the fall or early spring, best weather! And yes, it does look like a slimmer handled AK with a more acute spearpoint!

Thanks guys! Hope to get a review up sometime soon.
 
I believe that is what I want on my Camp knife.:D.

I will email that to you John. What pins would look best on that.

OH!! Those pins look great
