Okay I gotta say one of those knives looks interesting and it is made in the US. I think he called it a Bushcraft but has a Nessie look to it. Got a screenshot.

Yeah, that's the only one that interested me as well! Has a nice classic look to it, like an old cowboy knife.

What I can't understand is, the fact that all of these knife manufacturers (call them manufacturers and not knife-smiths) is they're continuous production of knives with "teeth" on them!!

Guess Hollywood is to blame...
 
Yeah I just don't get all the sawback stuff. Just looks like a good way for me to cut the hell out of myself. I do like the looks of that Bushcrafter though. Very basic meat and potato's type of blade. Looks like the others are going for that Ninja tacticool look. Just not a big tanto fan either but to each their own I guess.

No kidding... Ugly is all that comes to my mind in seeing those shown in the pic. They look like something a cartoon character would carry. Maybe I'm getting old but my BK2 is a classic and beautiful tool and daily companion.

gotta say i do like the "nessie" pattern a lot. that will sell very well, i should imagine.

now, if only they had done it in that layered 1095/damascus as on that last blade.

"teeth" on those others? saw? eh. some knives still have that. gimmick, but it sells :) just like clip-points ;)

To me the teeth to knife sales is equivalent to an ugly woman is to birth control. But hey, there's a market for everything.

I gotta admit I am really digging that Nessie style knife. That is one I would seriously consider purchasing to see it up closer.

yo mama! :D

i think you'll find plenty of so called ugly people making really ugly babies :) some of them even turn out to be swans. who knows ;) sales knows! money talks.

they're no accounting for taste. take a look at the things that sell sometime. i'm always amazed.
 
First Damascus steel blade with sawtooth back? At least it's the first one I've seen.... Would be a good looking knife without that.

I'm probably being dense but what is the advantage of having a scandi ground knife with a secondary microbevel over that of like a saber grind or FFG? Wouldn't the geometry be less conducive to cutting? I have never really cared for the looks of a scandi grind but I do like the nessie blade shape.

It's a matter of degree..

If the main grind and the micro bevel is shallow enough - the reduced cutting power would not even be noticed. The basic blade geometry(main grind height and blade thickness) are the most important factors .

Which is why Ethan himself has mentioned that the older he gets the more he is gravitating toward thinner blades. It's also the reason why he pushed hard for the blade grind on his new baby- the BK16 drop point- to be raised to a full height blade grind.

If you are doing all around brushcraft work with a thin Scandi edge and normal blade steels the risk of rolling/chipping that edge is very really when battoning chop[ping etc. Unless you are suing something like CMP-#V most guys who use a Scandi edge for anything other than Carving /slicing put a small microbevel on it. The Finns do it regularly.
