I will probably get one, most likely the jigged bone. I have no farmers jacks in my collection yet. Curious about the appeal because visually they are very odd looking.

For those who Do Not know what they look like and do not have one :

They are way more useful and comfortable to have and use than you think they would be .

The irony here being that Johnny Appleseed promoted the planting of seeds and not grafting apple trees.

How comfortable is the secondary in hand with that massively protruding primary closed?

It really fits the hand pretty well.

I probably have never used the Spey Blade .

It’s fine, I use it and haven’t had any issues with comfort. In fact the shape of the knife makes it fit perfectly to my hand.


On a side note it was my first Spey/castrator. I loved it so much I’m having one put on a custom

This question refers to the 38 Farmer's Jack. It's a question of technique , rather than wrapping your fist round it you grip the sides with fingers to make cuts with the budding blade. Very good for cuttings or just cutting through twine etc, sharpening sticks but in the kitchen this blade is THE one for slicing garlic ultra fine, something I want to do frequently



The Linen Micarta looks an ideal work-knife of many sorts

My mistake, I thought it was posted in the city stock thread. I had a 2 year old climbing all over me while I was trying to write back if that’s of any consolation!

 

[Will Power]

Yes but Hatchet_Jack it's still a valid point you make and lucky man for having such an ace of a knife
