Sigh.

Nobody seems to give the Fox River much love.

At least take a look. Mine is excellent.

To clear up any confusion, ...the Fox River and the Northstar are based on the same design.

The Fox River was designed as a hunting knife.

The Northstar was a tweaked by Reid (Sharpshooter) to be a Bushcraft version of the same basic design.

Reading the specs, I thought the handle on these would be too small for my large paws, only after trying one did I see the light; I find that works just fine for me.

The Model I really like is the Recurve Fox River (pictured), it’s kind of a cross between the two with a slight recurved cutting edge.

It also features contoured scales, which I really like.

I was just about to ask where you got those scales from. :thumbup:

Do you have any experience with the fox river magnum? Just curious how much bigger the handle is, and how much 'nimbleness' it sacrifices.

Spook, I did get to handle Tony’s Magnum Fox River and the scales are a little bit longer.

Overall the knife felt fast and nimble in hand; I liked it a lot.

Mike Stewart has said that when he makes the production version of the Magnum (in A2) it will feature an even longer handle.
