Recently bought a Potbelly and want to say I think I like it. Gave it some TLC . I even like the way it feels in my hand.

Thanks Tanker, KaBar had these on sale recently so I grabbed one to play around with. I can say the Potbelly has some weight to it and bites pretty deep. 1/4" 1095cv doesn't mess around when slammed into a piece of wood .The handle feels better then I expected though I prefer Ethan's. I will try to get some more pics up.

I have not spent a lot of time with it yet. But I can say it's like a compact hatchet. It's a heavy knife. I'am going to learn more about it this summer . So far I like it more then I thought I would.
 
i like the potbelly a lot, both the original hollow ground and the newer flat ground.
 
I like the design. If I got one Id grind the pointy out of the grip like I did on my Swabbie mod, feels way better in my hand

Does it come with two sets of scales brown and black?
Where is it on discount at? price?

I got to say I really like the grip with the pointy I wrap my pointy finger around it and chop away. I never thought I would like this blade as much as I do. Everyone's hands are different. I see a lot of the points ground off so it's not for all, but it fits in my hand Great. No it only comes with the brown scale. KaBar had the Potbelly's marked down a while back.

Cheapest I found was $53

What do you think of that Zomstro?
Is the edge straight or any heat treat warping because the edge is flat ground and real thin?

I was wondering what I could do with a Zomstro
 
KaBar had the Potbelly a little under that. Not sure myself what I'm a going to do yet with the Zomstro but I can't seem to pass on good deals. The Zomstro I have is very straight.

I picked up a clearance Zomstro, stripped it, and ground the handle a bit to suit me. The factory edge is nice and straight and has been taking a beating quite nicely--no deviation at all.
