Hello all,

thinking of jumping into the deep end. Seriously considering the Jurassic I need a tough knife that will Also be capable of EDC tasks open boxes etc. any feedback is welcome does the slicer really cut as well as it seams? I work in the plywood/lumber industry and at times will need to show a manufacturer defect and that will require some prying,cutting,digging etc into the product. I’m sure this will be up to the tasks when running on washers? Any experience with flipper action with washers installed? On aesthetics it’s hard to tell but on the blade finish is there much difference between working and stonewashed, one hide use more? Anything else I may not be thinking of?

thank you in advance

Eric
 
Hello EMN,

I am by no means an expert but would love to provide my 2 cents.

While I don't have a Jurassic, I believe that knife would certainly be up to the tasks that you are intending to use it for. What I look for in a workhorse knife is blade stock, handle material (being tough and having liners if needed), and pivot pin/screw size. Again, I believe the Jurrasic would be a good fit based on these factors, along with the Hinderer name. I don't think the washers would have much impact (positive or negative) on performance in respect to the "prying, cutting, digging, etc..." you mentioned above. The washer will primarily make the opening a bit smoother, which seems secondary to your primary goal/purpose of the knife.

In regards to stonewash or "working finish" which I believe is a form of bead blast, I would go with stonewash. From my experience and research, stonewash will resist rusting notably better than bead blast. Also, stonewash will resist wear better than bead blast. However, let me say that Hinderer's working finish is a form of bead blast and may not follow the traditional attributes of pure bead blast.

Hope this helps some. Let us know what you decide to purchase!

Thanks for the information, just ordered one from USA made blade.
 
For regular digging wood I’d get a Carothers edc or field knife, or a Swamp rat INFI ratmandu, to supplement and probably supplant your folder.

a small fixed blade may be the answer for the more questionable things I do. Or use the shears that are always available and I Will definitely be installing the washers.
