Wasn't sure if I should post this in the pic thread or just start my own thread. But decided this route might get more love for the LC.
So there are plenty of threads with specs and what not but not a lot where people are using them. At least not that I could find. Granted my search fu is weak but still. I'm a knife collector but the main part of collecting for me is the using lol.
I have to use my knives. Part of the beauty and love for me comes from the form and function. If a knife works like it should. Is comfortable in hand even after extended use. Comfortable in multiple grips, hold an edge like it should. The whole thing makes a knife.
I recently really got into Cpk knives because I'm a hard user and before this it was busse or hortons or JK cause they could stand up to the use I put them through.
So enough of this and on to the review. I waited around today hoping to win an edc2 but you guys are mad experienced and fast as hell. None the less after that I hit the woods with my kids, dog, light choppa and my edc2.
First day over 30 in a minute and man it was messy. My phone died half way through the 4.5 mile hike. My 3 year old maid it the whole way on his own like a boss. Proud of him lol. 11 year did a good job but cried the last 1.5 miles lol.
Did a good amount of chopping, batoning, finer work choking up and using the choil, and just single swings on thinner branches like a machete is suppose to be used.
This knife is just plain beastly. It does everything it's suppose to do and everything it shouldn't do lol. I absolutely love it. It's everything I hoped it would be. Even after clearing numerous hard wood trees, trails, branches, and anything else that was dead and could be cut i hot it with the light chopper.
Grip is an extension. Absolutely amazing. No hot spots at all. Wood just gets punished.
Only gripe is the g10 or buffed micarta is stupid slick. Way to much to be useful.even in just sweaty hands. Imo it should not be an option other than presentation blades. And the sheath dangler. It's way to low to be effective. Maybe that's the option chosen by the previous owner not sure but it's like 3/4ths down my leg and bounces all over the place. Maybe a teklok or.something but the mashed cat large dangler is no good.for me.
