I think I might have ground that one. You can tell because of the way that it is.

I might have to try this clip out on my UF2 when it arrives Friday.

You should definitely try it out

Looks like it would double as IWB or pocket carry.

It does, DCC is my preferred rigging for ISP and functions equally as well for IWB. Which is probably its intended purpose.
They carry different sizes according to belt size. For pocket carry I usually get 1.5"

Doin my best he-man impersonation at 730am before work. The neighbors have to be wondering who designed this wonderful blade

This photo makes me regret not grabbing one of these beasts to try out

Besides wood vs. Micarta, what's your first impression, E., how do they compare ?

Well, I haven't worked with them yet...and the wood scales are from Tony, even though he pretty much copied the exact CPK contours as closely as he could.

So, my initial reaction is that they both feel fantastic in my hand...and very comfortable.

I'm reluctant to say this, since I haven't worked with them...but my impression is that the signature version of the SDFK "might" be just a hair more fantastic in "my" hand. It's close...but the grip is slightly less "blocky"...though blocky is far from what it is.

It's just an nth of a degree difference. Who knows how that would change in use, or if I put the original scales on?

The SDFK (signature series) is very impressive though. I don't think anyone would be disappointed if a knife of this size was what they were seeking. Very well balanced, and feels lighter than what the scale tells me.

Thanks !

Today's Signature SDFK Sale: Close... But just not quite quick enough.

So, I headed out to the back yard/woods after the sale with some cutlery to clear some vines and saplings. Feeling a little better now. I guess I'll just have to make do with my old BC.

I'm changing my evaluation of the feel of the HDFK vs the Signature Series SDFK.

After extensive fondling of the two little beasties this evening, I simply cannot choose between them in regard to which feels better in my hand. Sorry for the waffle, but I'm telling it as straight as I can. They are both awesome. Both are extremely well balanced and easy to manipulate from one grip to another. I'd hate to be without either, or to have to choose one or the other.

If anyone would be kind enough to send me one of each for evaluation I would be happy to share my impressions with you all.

That's a big stump.

Pics to follow of course.

You should definitely try the Discrete Carry Concepts clips. This is a Mod 4 1.5” Universal. It rides great ISP with the Mashed Cat sheath. You can also use it for IWB with or without a belt. I also like the Mod W - HLR Discrete Gear Clip 1.75” belt which can be used for OWB carry too.

Thanks, E. I love that we are able to get both Lorien's and Nathan's take on a knife of similar specs.

You're welcome to come for a visit and I'll go out with you and play.
