Large plain edge Wegner

[AR15fan]

Just got it today. Bought it from 1SKS and overpaid by $19.89

oh well, live & learn.

Knife is larger and heavier than expected. Also rides higher in the pocket than necessary.

Blade is thick & the right shape for a hunting knife. Handles are nicely beveled. Lockup is as tight as any liner lock i have ever owned.

I cant wait for deer season

PS..
Now i need to sell my AFCK & Delica to buy a serrated Wegner.

Glad you like it. I have been preaching about the qualities of the Wegner for some time. To be honest with you I was never interested in the Wegner. I just didn't like the way it looked. I was talking to my friend Chris Christman, of Top of Texas Knives, when Chris suggested I try the Wegner. He told me that the Wegner really needed to be held to be apreciated. I trust Chris so I immediately ordered one, not knowing what to expect. I fell in love when I got the knife in my hand. Talk about ergonomic. It is one of the most comfortable knives to use that I have. I also really like the blade shape.

The Wegner is marketed as a hunting knife. I bought a hunter friend of mine one last season. He field dressed several deer with it. He gives the Wegner rave reviews as a hunting knife. I think the knife is an excellent utility knife and would also be an excellent defensive knife. The design lends itself very well to many uses.

The Wegner is one of my all-time favorites.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find it for $20 cheaper than 1sks?

The cheapest online price is from Kives by top of texas. Discount knives will then beat that price by 10% per their low price guarentee, which brings the delivered pice down to $80.10 from Discount Knives. Vesus $99.99 delivered from 1SKS.

But do they have a BB that we knife fans spend hours on? A small price to pay for this much fun...

1sks has a price matching/beating policy. I will never use it, just consider that my donation to support Bladeforums.
Glad you like the Wegner, I've been giving one the eye. The shop has a Wegner Jr., too. I've always thought it looked like an excellent design, but haven't bothered handling one.
Maybe I should look more closely.

Sell your AFCK?!?!?-horror of horrors

When I first started buying knives online, I tried the Discount Knives 10% thingy and found they dinged me so much on shipping and handling that I actually lost money on the deal. Haven't bought from them since.

Not a bad idea. The Wegner is a better knife than the AFCK.

Also you can't go wrong with Top of Texas Knives.

Hoodoo, when I use the 10% off thing, I always seem to save money! It is just taking another store's price including shipping and taking off 10%. How could you possibly not save money? And Brian@DiscountKnives always inspects the knives for me.
