Potowatomi Slim Necker
6.75 inches OAL
Blade 2.75 inches
3/32 01 steel
Orange G10 handles
This is one of those knives that I just had to have when I first saw it.
Its kind of like a paring knife with a better handle, better leverage, and better usability. Im sure it would make a fantastic neck knife but Ive never used it in such a manner.
I have used it as a paring knife peeling potatoes and carrots, slicing fruits, and cubing vegetables. All done with an ease that makes mundane tasks enjoyable.
So much so that I wouldnt be a bit surprised if my wife took it from me and kept it for herself.
Outside this knife imitates a dedicated carving knife: its a mean slicer with great leverage and itll bite deep if you want it to. And yet its easy to control when those intricate cuts are called for.
With a full tang, durability isnt a concern unless youre going well out of your way in an effort to break it.
Mine even came with a built-in loss prevention system: the bright orange handles show up exceedingly well against all sorts of backgrounds.
The handle is comfortable over extended use and in a variety of positions and the choked-up grip gives you precise control.
Yeah, I know. This review is short and sweet. But it does what its supposed to without wasted time or motion.
And that is the point.
