My favorite - Straight Handled Steel Heart, SHSHII, or, as I know her...
*THE PRECIOUS*...
Next for me is a Heavy Heart Fusion Steel Heart, standard handles. Then Heavy Ordnance Grade Fusion Steel Heart, HOGFSH.
But, *THE PRECIOUS* is just that.... I wear XL gloves, but the Magnums on the Fusion line are just a little too much, and lock my hand in place. The knife with magnum handles is not as lively to me as the standards handles and thicker blade.
The Precious' blade is .260 thick, the Heavy Heart is .270, the HOGFSH .315+... The .250 standard FSH and standard scales is a little loose, but it's hard to justify it mathmatically... it's very subjective.
Some comparison belly shots of Steel Hearts-
Top to bottom:
SHSHII - The Precious
Zero Tolerance Steel Heart
Fusion Steel Heart, stand handles
HOGFSH with standard handles
Fusion Steel Heart, magnum handles
HOGFSHLE with Magnum handles
token Game Warden for balance...
Here is a SHBM 0r Straight Handled Battle Mistress...
I really like the belly swell on The Precious and the Straight Handle line. The Fusion is fine, also, but larger/longer and more angled, feels good, but different.
Enjoy!
