KNIFE TESTING WITH THE WIFE AND PUPPY

WHAT WE TESTED

 

[WILLIAM.M]

 

[WILLIAM.M]

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 as always 'Ol Bud :thumbup: The Spyderco looks cool !

 

[WILLIAM.M]

Carol loves it-

-Fits her like a glove as they say

 

[Mistwalker]

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

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.

 

[WILLIAM.M]

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

Put a convex edge on the Outcast and you'll see a big difference.

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.
