Help me out HOGS

[silverdragon33]

I think I have found "the one" knife for me, at least for a while.
Just got this from Xaman (very cool to deal with). It's the nicest knife I now own. Problem is I'm having trouble bringing myself to use it.
Also, I'm really digging the comfy, versatile EU handle and it's now my favorite. I hope the boss makes more knives with this handle in the future.

USE IT!! You'll never regret it!

 

[norcalblacktail]

Easy answer. Use it. That comfy handle you speak of is not going to be comfy in a safe.

 

[Lycosa]

Let me clarify my vote---Get one to use and one to gawk at!!

 

[barrabas74]

Blacktail said it best....why buy a knife that handles sweetly and feels great if it only does so every time you take it out of the safe. Why not love the fact that it does that everytime you delimb a blowdown or shave off that bark or whatever esle. USE IT MAN! You only live once.

Jeepnut, is that E-SH recurved?

That my friend is a Custom Shop Uncle MoFo with the 'e' handle. Not as comfy as the OPs, but still very comfy.

It is beaten on by Eli now. Miss that sucker!!


Oh, and SilverDragon33... If you decide to sell, PM ME!!! :thumbup:

 

[silverdragon33]

seems that's a yes. well, i've used every other knife i own, why not

 

[Hogwash]

You'll never use it.

It would be better if you sold it to me.

 

[silverdragon33]

USE IT!! You'll never regret it!

so, the mofo is a good chopper?

 

[Tyrkon Lawson]

If you are sure you are going to keep it then beat that bad boy. I think INFI looks even better worn in. And congrats!

 

[Jeepnut22]

so, the mofo is a good chopper?

Surprisingly, YES!! IMHO, it'll out-chop an HHFSH. I think the recurve helps in those respects, plus the OAW and comfy handle let's it fly nicely. :thumbup:

 

[junoir]

use it or lose it !!

 

[ToyKnife]

I'm no HOG but it appears that blade was made for choppin'. Cause you can use that there bottle opener on the top.

 

[Matteo Escobar]

The only way you will truly appreciate it, and enjoy it is if you use it. Use it!!

 

[Gentle Ben]

tools like these are made to be used. hard.

keeping it locked up in your safe is like having a mistress only to look at.

 

[Ban]

You'll never use it.

It would be better if you sold it to me.

Don't listen to Hogwash. He just wants to snag up all of the EU Handled knives :thumbup:

Those EU Style Handles are indeed very comfy. I say go and beat on her. When you are tired of her you can just sell it to me

 

[BubbaThud]

I sort of agree with Ban.....Beat it like it owed you money...then send it to Ban for a tune-up.

Problem is....he may never get it back if he sends that one to me LOL!

 

[azshaman]

With all due respect to you investors out there who actually own a safe...I have no room in my life for something I cannot use. SO USE HER!!! BTW, she's a beauty! :thumbup:

 

[Cutshaw]

If you bought it as a "collector," do whatever you want with it. Safe queen, wall hanger... your decision.

If it is really the "one knife" for you, then why would you question not using it?

Wise poster by the name of 360Joules said, and I'll paraphrase: "That first swing hurts. After that muscle memory kicks in and any ideas of safe queen are happily put away."

It's all good - do whatever makes you happy.

If you're real question is, "Is it so rare that I shouldn't use it?" then my answer is "no." Heck, some of the most amazing one-of-a-kind INFI out there has been used.*
