Over the past week or so, I had the pleasure of spending some time with a great knife that belongs to On_The_Edge, and thought I'd share some pics.

This NOe was the first Ergo I've ever handled. It was very comfortable to use (as you'd expect) and is a great design for this size knife. With the clip point and neutral balance, it struck me at first as more of a fighter. After bummin' around in the woods some, though, it really seemed to enjoy itself! :D

Even without a long blade, it was easy to nip through vines, etc.

This is one whack into a small limb to be used as a walking stick -

Nice blade!!! Looks almost like a Caretaker with a more pronounced swedge.
 
Greg,

Nice review and pics.
Seems like you are getting in on all the passarounds. :thumbup:

On a game trail and getting to know the local stumps

I found one stump that was pure Fatwood, or Fat Lighter, as we used to call it - You can almost smell it

And taking a break. Well, actually I was the one taking a break. The NO was ready for more -

Although the swedge wouldn't lend itself to batonning as well as a full spine, this would certainly make a good "one knife for everything" knife (I know - I don't like the sound of that either :D ).

Thanks for reading all this, and a huge thanks to Chris (OTE) for the opportunity to play with a classic.
 
Great pics, thanks. Might be the first shots of that model being USED. :thumbup:
 
Wow - I must type really slow!

Thanks for the responses, guys.

Resinguy, it's always great to get first-hand experience with a classic, especially a custom as limited as this - thanks for the pics!

Dave, I couldn't resist! Almost didn't pull the trigger, but I'm glad I did. :thumbup:
 
Great pics Greg!!! Hopefully I'll be holding that beauty Thur. I'll PM you when I get it:thumbup:
 
Kenny, I cleaned it up a bit for you. I think it likes the dirt, though! :thumbup:
 
Awesome pics, Greg. I'm glad you got a chance to get away from work and life to put her through the paces. Looks like you've got a great playground to play in as well. Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:
 
Well thank you so very much for ruining my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That's one of my dream knives. The TAN CLAN is just begging to add that one to the family.

A great blade.

Can you tell I'm GREEN with envy?

Great pix.

Thanks
