Nimravus, Nimravus Cub or CUDA CQB2/Jr.?

[Eric H]

I'm looking for a small-medium fixed blade for around the yard carry and possibly some EDC when I'm out & about. I'm down to either one of the 2 Nimravus' or the CUDA CQB 2/Jr.

So--what advantages would one have over the others? (As I write this, I should mention that I'm leaning on ruling out the NImravus Cub--it might be a touch too small--I just ordered a Ranger Little Bird, and a BM Snody Activator, and between those and my good old Mini ACFK, I have that size about covered.)

How about the sheaths? I know the CUDA's can ride at different angles--a plus for me, but the Nimravus has the thumb toggle, which sounds intriguing.

Anyone have both?

Thanks!

I think the CUDA fixed blade feels better in the hand than the Nimravus. The sheath is better made and more minimal, IMO, both good things. The one thing that might tip the scales in favor of the Nimravus is if you got it in the M2 steel. That is one of my favorite carbon steels on a production knife.

I have the Nimravus cub and to tell you the truth, I think the blade is paper thin. I bought a Becker Necker for about $35.00 and I would choose that over the cub any day.
