If it is half the knife the Hoodlum is it should prove to be a very good seller for Buck:thumbup:.

Oh, there is NO doubt that it's half the knife that the Hoodlum is........

It went from a ten-inch blade to a five-inch blade.

:D
 
Actually, it's a superb warranty.

:)

My question was this: the Hood has a handle angle that seems designed for chopping.

So how does that angle work on a general purpose, five-inch knife?

It looks far different than say, the 105, for example. I think I would be uncomfortable trying to work with the handle angle as it stands on the Punk.
 
I saw the Punk advertised in the last issue of Ron and Karens' mag and it looks sweet. I've been busting my hump trying to get a Hoodlum through a trade, but no luck. Now this one I may consider just buying if it gets good reviews. And I don't know why Ron chose punk, but Hoodlum is what he calls his friends and fans on his forum. Thankfully they weren't calling them punks:)

To me the handle angle looks similar to other knives like the ESEE-4. I don't think it is necessarily meant for chopping.

So is this for real do you have inside information on this Assassin?

I think the "Thug" is coming first. Then the "Skin Head" (it's a skinner). Then either the "Terrorist" or the "Assassin". But the "Sneaky Little Creep" is the next one up. ;)

I'm just having fun with the names.:D
 
erm, if you don't like the coating or blade writing, strip the coating off. Not a hard fix, and you lose the parts of the knife you don't like and add to the appeal of the knife for you.
 
I like the shape of that one, but the price is a little high IMO... there are other, similar offerings available from other companies at half that price. Maybe if I can find one for a steep discount at some point, I'll pick one up and strip off the coating. ;)
 
I'm thinking maybe this one as a BCCI discount knife in the future...
If and when they are available for web sale...
 
My wife just gave one of these to me for valentines day and I must say this is an amazing blade! The shape and handle are excellent and it is amazingly light! I use all my knives but this one is just so pretty I don't know if I can:)
