Quick Review (cold garage)

[EIDO]

I took my new bushcraft out to the frozen garage for some whittling.
This is my first bushcraft style blade and I see some advantages for woodcraft over my usual whittling knife. Several aspects of this knife really help in controlling cuts; the heft and stiffness of the blade, the blade length, which allows for two-thumb control and Dan's excellent thumb grooves. The ridges looked too sharp to me at first glance but seem ideal in use.
I also really like that there is a greater length of grooves than I usually see on knives, allowing for more ridges to grip more of your thumb.

The sheath (style #2) was a pleasant surprise, even nicer than the pictures.

Only downside, mine didn't arrive shaving sharp like some of the others did (but I haven't cut myself yet either) and the USPS bent the tip a bit in their drop test before delivering it to me.

Nice job Dan, and I've really liked watching and participating in the process.

If UPS did in fact drop the box and damage the item, I would seek a replacement. That is of course assuming that Daniel insured them for shipping.

I wouldn't settle for a damaged knife because of UPS. They can be pretty rough on stuff.

100% satisfaction guaranteed, Bro. :thumbup:

I will gladly regrind it & resharpen it for free. Just send it back.

Hope it works out ok!



Thanks for the review!!!

It's probably safer if you work on it. I'd hate to ruin those nice lines.
If it weren't for the holes in the end of the box I'd think maybe those Post Office (not UPS) guys took it out for a little throwing practice. Just a slight bend, no chipping. I'll get it in the mail to you (triple wrapped) right away.

Thanks
