Oh, thumbnails, how I rue thee.
Alright, so here's my new best friend. His name is Bob, but I like to call him Herbert. I don't think he likes to be called Herbert, but I must entertain myself at times.
I got him in late January, and since then have been too busy cutting things to post pictures. I was a bit surprised when I got a knife that said Jan 09 and it was... Jan 09! I figured, this one must be hot off the press! Well, even if he wasn't, it certainly helps me remember when I got him.
This knife opens amazingly smooth - in fact, the first time I flicked on the flipper it opened all the way. And, being the first time I'd ever manipulated a flipper, I'd say that's saying something. Lot of saying going on, isn't there? I digress.
The clip doesn't draw as much attention as I thought it would, though I have been wearing a lot of coats lately, so the true test of this will be in the summertime. The knife feels great in the hand, and the clip doesn't produce any points of irritation or "hot spots" as I think they are referred to. The knife is really beautiful in my opinion, although that doesn't really count for much, does it?
As far as the edge goes, it came quite acceptably sharp. Though I do feel the need to polish the edge, something I hope to get around to in a reasonable amount of time..
If there's any doubt about the quality of this knife, let it be dispelled now! I'd recommend it to everyone, except I don't because I like to be the only one with such a pretty and interesting knife.
Thanks Kershaw and Tim Galyean for a great knife!
Now for questions.
First off, how in the blankety blank do you make these composite blades? This method should be featured on How It's Made. Knife lovers everywhere would do something that rhymes with.. ism.
Secondly, why is the knife so smooth opening? Is it butter or grease? Feathers of geese? What is it, prey tell. I must know before I go to..
Alright, that's all! I've bothered you with my weirdness long enough.
