NEW 4.7 Thread

That's a beautiful knife CO Hunter! I wanted those scales, but all they had left on the October 19 sale was natural and black canvas.
 
Well just for fun and to show off my first Survive!
Man this thing is awesome!

Man that looks great. I ordered my 2.7 with those blue/black scales and am looking forward to getting it.

Where did you get that firesteel holder? That is a sweet setup..

I would also like to know about the fire steel holder.

Does anyone own a 4.7 and a 6.1 or newer 5.1? I have a 4.7 Cru and a 6.1 on order. Just trying to figure out if the 6.1 handle will be much bigger than the 4.7.

Not that it matters but it is gso 6 not 6.1 xD
the handle on the 6 is a touch longer. We're talking about 0.176" longer

Thanks for the clarification. I like to be correct with the terminology to avoid confusion.

So you think the overall thickness and size of the handle should be about the same? I have small hands and the 4.7 is very nice. Not sure i would want it much bigger. If the 6 feels like the 4.7 i might make it my "big knife" and let the 4.7 go. I guess i wont know until the GSO 6 shows up in the future.

I have a 4.7 and have had a few of the new 5.1s. The 5.1 handle is definitely longer, but I really liked it. The extra length didn't seem to detract at all. That's going to be pretty subjective, but I think there's a chance you might like the handle on the 6.
 
Only time will tell. I was thinking i would keep the 4.7 and sell the 6. but i ordered a 4.1 regrind that i think will be perfict for my needs in the woods. Now i am thinking the GSO 6 as the big knife, 4.1 as the med and my 2.7 or folder as a small knife.

i definitely think you should wait and see them in person until you decide. You can make a snap decision once they are in your hand.
I have a strong feeling the 6 will be amazing. I cant be sure, but for some reason or another, my gut thought is the 6 will be worth holding onto!
 
That doesn't sound like a bad plan. I'm pretty excited for those GSO 4 LE's, but you're right that it might be nice to have a bigger blade along, too. I think the 4.7 or the 6 could do stand-alone if need be.

And I guess what I was trying to say on the handle of the 5.1......circumference and contouring are similar, so if the 4.7 fits your hand now, the length would be the biggest difference. The 5.1 felt like if you needed to strike with the butt, it would be more conducive to that task than the 4.7 if that makes sense.
 
Hard Knocks - thank you, I am really happy with it. I now have a 4 limited edition on order. I am going to have to watch myself...

Angry Hippie - thanks! Guy did an amazing job with these handle scales they are fantastic, and the shape is so comfortable.

neil944 & rc51kid - the fire steel holder is from Battle Horse knives. A guy from the Survive face book group took a couple of his sheathes over there and they worked a template up for these. They are not on their web site (at least not last time I looked) but if you call up and ask for a fire steel holder for a Survive knife they have two options. One for the 4.1 and one for the 5.1 but obliviously they fit other models. The one I have is the 5.1 version. If you find your way over to the Facebook group search for Battle Horse in the survive group page and you will see a few pics of these and some more info.

Silver Needle - thank you!
