E, do you prefer your SS SDFK more or your HDFK ? I’m trying to decide which one to pursue for “one fixed blade in the woods”.

Given my druthers...it'd be folder next and then perhaps the Medium / Light Chopper or whatever it is being called.

Of course, the Shiv is on order.

I feel strongly both ways.

Solomon, I'm not.

I suppose if I had to choose, which I'm happy to say I don't...maybe the HDFK. It's big enough for anything I would probably do with a knife ordinarily without being overly large / cumbersome. But it really depends on your usage. I'm more of a saw guy than a chopper under most circumstances...other than clearing brush and smallish limbs.

Reprofiled this little hornet tonight. Nice sharp 15 degree. Delta 3V does not like being ground. It took for freaking ever. But it’s one of the sharpest things I’ve ever handled.

Diamond files 200, 400, 600
Diamond film transition stone 800
Spyderco ceramic Medium, Fine, Ultrafine
Then power strop on my 1x42.

One of the best balanced blades that I've ever handled. Amazing.

As is often the case, I like this one more than I thought I would.

I am with great regret that I tried to baton through some oak this morning…




Edit by Nate: those are not CPK scales. I just wanted to put that out there for anybody that saw this failure on a Google search, Carothers Performance Knives didn't make those scales...

Sad, but perhaps a learning experience. If so, then likely worth the cost in the long run.

Tony always recommended I use micarta liners… which I have begun to use.
Also. Holding a wonky shaped piece of wood without gloves.
Def a learning experience.
I guess I am off to make another set, better this time.

Sorry Dan, I know you put a lot of time into that stuff. Another thing Tony told me, is that even with the micarta liners, he considered his scales presentation grade. If you wanted to really beat on the knife, he recommended swapping back to the original scales. He meant for them to be pretty scales that were reasonably durable, not hard use. I think hammering on the knife with the baton falls under his definition of hard use.

We have “his and hers” TV rooms. All the gypsy sh!znit, including macrame, goes in hers……..although lately, it seems to be spreading throughout the cave like lichen.
