I think I found my new perfect EDC !:thumbup:
Ok, I should admit I feel that way almost twice per year, but this time, it's for sure !
I found it in last week-end knife show in Paris (SICAC), made from a South african knife maker, named Fred Burger.
First of all, if your kind of EDC is a big Strider, that knife is not for you !
If your kind of knife is more like small sebenza, U2 or TK4 fallkniven… you should have a look at it!
Blade is 440c, not the last steel of the month, but much sufficient and tasted /approved over the years.
Handle is red G-10, quite "sheep friendly", with clip and liner is made from blue Titanuim
One hand opening system quite efficient also (it's a "lip")
Basically, what I like in this knife is the size and the blade, nearly perfect, and his light weight.
Also adjustements are good and there is zero play in the blade.
It was really sharp when I baught it and remains so after few lunchs, so for the moment I can't told you if it's easy to resharpen (but 440C is supposed to !)
If ever you see this SA knife maker in a knife show around, I suggest you see him.
He has quite good and cheap product, and he is a gentleman, it's a pleasure to discuss with him!
I pay for this knife 140 euro (180US$) and it deserves it !
see bellow my collection of small EDC with red handdle !
fred Burger is more specialised in canesword and you could see his product (cane and folder) in his bellow website
