There were 4 Siegle's.A Kershaw Outcast,Spyderco Temperance 1 and 2/

The Bill Siegle Barong is a Bad A$$ chopper....Love this thing.
The other 2 Black Handled Siegles are close in performance-but feel different.(One is 1/4" thick-the other is 5/16" thick)
The Green handled one is so nice my wife wants to keep it.

She liked the Temperance #2 better than the original one...I find the handle on the #2 a bit small .

Neither of us much liked the Outcast.Edge way too thick .

It was a great day..

Great pics man. Even if you have the two knives and she only has the one my money is on her as she seems to have a friend with big teeth :D

Great pics!
Isn't life wonderful with a woman that enjoys the things you do?:thumbup:
Zeus is looking great. I can't believe how he has grown.

The outcast lived up to it's name huh.;)

The edge on the outcast is THICK---needs to be thinned out to chop good at all.

Took 2-3 times the number of chops to get the same amount of work done as the Siegles.

Thanks for kind words about Zeus--15 months old this month
 
Who made the fixed spyderco tenacious bushcrafter? thats great, they even have the hole!
 
Glad to see at least my knives are getting outside. Me? I was stuck in the shop today :( Looks like a good time :D
 
wait a minute, you have a hot wife who likes knives? I've gotta tell my friends, "see it IS possible!"
 
I really liked the temperance upgrade, but the price point was quite high on that one. At $120 used seems like a good deal, I see them retailing for more than twice that here in Canada. I do love a leaf shaped blade and spyderco does a great job on that type of blade shape.
