"MY" Darrel Ralph EDC

[GigOne]

Recently, I decided to break down and finally get a "Darrel Ralph." Knife that is..... Unsure of what I wanted! Real toss up between the Apogee or Krait. What to do, what to do...........

Then, one day, I was surfin' the Forums and saw a Carbon Fiber EDC. And not a fancy one either! Ya know, the one with the fighter style blade sitting on the fence post!

Ordered it several months ago and it arrived today!

Overall Length is 8". Totes a blade length of 3.5". Elected to have the 420V Stainless Steel blade and black carbon fiber scales. Had to have the "Fighter" style blade. Absolutely fantastic job in the finish on the blade too. Move the knife around in light and the blade comes alive! Came with dual thumbstuds and heavy duty .075 liners. The knife is accented with heat colored (bronze) liners, screws, thumbstuds and clip. Awesome carbon fiber work! Extremely smooth and looks like snake scales!

And gotz to have pic's (scans actually):

Excellent job Darrel! Thanks..... I'll get a Krait one day!

Hey Gig- That's a real beauty. You and I must have similar taste as everything you've posted here is something I've liked. By the way, that EDC has the longest clip I've ever seen ! Donald.

Hey Gig - by any chance did you order this from KEvin at The Edge Equipment? If so, I watched Darrel put the finishing touches on it while I was visiting him...the knife also has my fingerprints on it too

Nice looking EDC

Dex,

The knife was ordered from Kevin.

And yes, I was informed that you were molesting it during your visit to DDR's shop!

Amazing how effortless it is to open and close the knife! Super super smooth!

BUSTED!!

Yep, Kevin's definitely good people. He was even taking care of emails from his laptop while we were in DDR's shop.

GigOne--How does this compare to the mini Kasper folder? Yours looks great. I'd like to look into getting one or two (for each pocket).

I couldn't tell you....... I've never handled a Kasper.
