This is after 8 months of badass Every Day Carry and Every Day Use, with occassional abuses. I'm proud my Mini Com wears these Badges of Honor.

Well done Ernie:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:



PS better pics will come once after I figure out how to manipulate the lighting. Feel free to zoom in, they're very high res pics:cool::p
 
The Commander is one of the few knives out there that looks right with serrations. Recurves generally do, but look how that mini-comm recurve looks like it was cut in just for those teeth. Beautiful knife improved by use.
 
It has to be said.

I EDC the SE Mini Com and Böker Plus CLB Trance SE. The latter one is only used because I know its limitations. On the other hand, the Commie is treated with dubious attitudes: I have great affection for it while keep pushing it beyond its limits by delibrate abuse. Can't quite remember who, but someone stated he treats his EKI like his ex, ergo giving it crap whenever possible. The sadder part of this is, I not only give it crap whenever there're suited occassions, I also create such, and sometimes just open a can of whoopass on it without any immediate cause.

The Commie was used to chop some amount of wood (including a small part of my desk because I felt like:D) and sporadically cut thin iron wires and sheets. Beside that, my clique had the nasty "ritual" to stab our blades on the tables we set at just for the laugh of it. Moreover, I've given it a full spine tap on a iron bar, twice. The only protection I wore was my skin, and I still shiver when I imagine what could go wrong.

In the past 8 month I've sharpened it more than 10 times, and by that I don't mean touch up. You can see it by comparing the front PE part to the smart portion of PE behind the serrations: they don't line up. Anyway, there're always bald patches on my left arm because I just couldn't resist the urge to feel the 154cm:p

The one thing that amazes me the most is the penetrating power. I've never expected such beety recurve could pierces as well as the accute point as the CLB Trance with aprox. the same amount force applied. Maybe it's the sheer mass behind the thrust (inertia).

Although it does have it's few small cons, compared to the abundant big pros, its my favorite folder to date. Maybe the holy 12 will convert me.(Lycosa, don't bug me with 7s;)) All said, ERNIE IS THE MAN:thumbup:

This could be the catch phraser of a successful EKI ad.

Oh, almost forgot. "Commie" back to you sir.
