Closer to a Persian than a military.
The micarta on this and the vallaton look amazing! I almost picked up one of these for just over $100, I thin k $119?
You should have gotten one. The build quality and intricacy are outstanding, but I just feel the execution of looks and ergonomics are lacking. Unfortunately, as part of the ethnic series they had to stick to what they were replicating.
I hated the K2. I love big knives but ergonomically it’s crap. I have big hands and still wasn’t comfortable.
Took meat off the spine of the blade with a belt sander and dremel making sure to cool in water ever couple seconds so the blade never heated up. There wasn’t a point during the whole process that the blade got hot or discolored.
I traded it for a new ZT 0562CF a while back and I love the ZT. I need to cerakote the Hungarian but it’s too damn hot. Maybe tomorrow.
