Hoback Enoch anyone?

[Yo Mama]

Did anyone get a Hoback Enoch, I can't find many reviews yet. It's the cheapest Hoback I've seen, his designs are a bit different but I like most of them.

Seems it is still made in the USA, with caged bearings, 20CV and a nice profile. The handle shape I'm not sure about and using g10 on this I'm also not thrilled with. But to afford a Hoback I'm tempted to add this one to the list.

I think to meet the price point it’s pretty much required G10 be used for the show side. If the bearings are riding directly on the G10 I can see an issue popping up but I would imagine there is some form of a steel bearing race on that side.

I’m not a huge fan of the overall profile or the handle at all. I kind of reminds me of something you would see from Kershaw in their budget line. However, knowing how Jake builds his knives I’m sure it’s going to be well made.

I've been looking at the Enoch as well, like the blade profile and material but not crazy on the handle. Price point isn't bad for a US made flipper either. I like the Radford more overall, again not crazy on the G10 side but not a deal breaker for either blade. I may end up getting both with a TI version for the Radford
