New Cooper Cutlery knives?

Finally got mine.

Just a short back ground story...I purchased mine from a vendor on another knife forum. The knife arrived with couple of minor F&F issues (most likely wouldn't have bothered anyone), but with the vendor mark up, I had paid a bit more than what it was going for at the time, and thought, I would like it perfect...

The vendor had gone on a leave and I couldn't get a hold of them so I called Cooper Cutlery direct as instructed on the 'insert.'

Well, needless to say, Mr. Gilbert Cooper answered and told me to send the knife back and said, "We'll take care of it. We stand behind our products."

And took care of it he did. He gave me a call a few times after the knife was shipped out from their shop and asked if I had received my knife.

Hats off to Cooper Cutlery and the team! Looking forward to the next round of releases!

Love my ebony!

Love the tang stamp on the ebony!

I’ve heard quite a few stories of great customer service from Cooper. They are really trying hard to make good knives and build from the ground up.

Good form. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 🤠
 
I knew there were coming out, but looked like they were sold out when I checked Cooper’s site. I am so glad to hear they are doing things right.

It sure looks good, the light stripe of ebony is pleasing to my eye.
Fit is solid.. No blade play or rap, no gaps at the bolster, pins are flush, the spring is flush at halfstop, centered blade.

I'm not keen on how to gauge the number system on pulls and walks/talks yet. So I'll say it's right where I like it. I'm glad it has a deep long pull, satisfying to open to the halfstop. A good snap from half to open, and from half to close its really snappy, like be extra careful when closing snap.

Only two issues that I found so far but one of them isn't really a big deal.

^ One of the pins has been attacked! lol

The other thing is on the cutting edge, one side is grinded higher than the other, particularly at the spear tip.
Looking at the tip I can't help but think of how it resembles my first attempts at freehand sharpening with a lopsided edge!

Overall I am quite pleased with my Beaver Falls Jack. I won't hesitate to get another Cooper offering and looking forward to exploring the brand.

I will say that I hope to have an even grind on the next purchase.

I kindof like the spear point without an etch, pretty cool example here.
