A very dear and thoughtful friend of mine gave me a new knife today as a Christmas present. I was presented, much to my bewildered shock and delight, a Custom Rick Hinderer Fieldtac. The specs [I'm sure most of you are familair though]

I have to say, this is probably the finest blade I own in my collection now. It is VERY well built - over built you might even say. The spine is SUPER thick, beefey and gives the whole knife a solid "like a tank" feel to it. It seems like a very well thought out knife - lanyard hole/striking pommel, jimping on top edge and small finger bottom, a forward choil which works very well with the jimping for small detail work, yet the whole knife still has enough weight that it would be a hell of a camp chopper for heavy use. The point is a modified one that is very striking as well [no pun intended].

I'm VERY impressed with this knife, and was very honored to receive it.

Here's some pics - I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts!

You have awesome friends. Great knife. Use it with confidence or baby it. Can't go wrong either way. I only suggest babying if it has a sentimental attachment. Knives are tools to be used. Thanks for sharing.
 
And Snow and Steel SCORES!!!!!!!! Congrats....we could all use a friend like that!
 
Fantastic !!!! You will get years of great use from that Knife!!! I have one next to my bed on the night stand :)
 
You've got one hell of a friend. Thanks for posting your knife. I hope I'll get a Fieldtac someday. Anybody know when Rick and crew will make the Fieldtac again?
 
Wow. I'd give that Friend a big ol' kiss and I wouldn't care if he was a He. Buddy gives me a gift like that he's gettin' a kiss (Maybe that's why I ain't got one):eek:
No but seriously, you are very fortunate to have such a dear friend, that was very special indeed.
Congrats! and congrats on the knife too;)
 
thats an awesome gift! Either last year or the year before I gave my best friend a Hinderer Flashpoint Fixed Blade... sometimes it feels just as great to give as it does to receive!
