[f-2175]

Sorry to keep asking this, but have got no replies back. Has anyone a review of this knife? I am very interested in getting one.

I just got my second one in the mail, the first one I had was a 1976 make and rare I guess...they're all rare since I don't know anyone who has one..lol. I am going to use this one soon, and I will give you a review in this section as soon as I do. At fisrt glance it looks fine, I am not so sure about the plastic handle, I am already thinking about customizing it, my other one had a walnut handle and felt good. The saw looks pretty mean, I am going out to cut down a sapling in my yard right now, and I'll tell you if it works. If I was going to do some light chopping, I would move my hand position below the finger loop, I can tell this already. The loop is ok if your cutting or slicing, but I think it would cause discomfort under impact. Anyways, I'll get back to you in a minute on the saw. The sheath is ok too, nothing great, but it works.

The saw worked great, it takes some force as the teeth dig way in, but it really cuts. I was right about the hand position, after moving my hand back behind the loop, it chopped like a light machete. I held the knife with my index finger in the loop and did some carving, it handles just fine, I made an on the sight rig, and looped the leather lanyard that came with the knife around the finger loop, it feels 100% better, and you feel like you have one hell of a grip. Here's some pics, Gene

I also have a Sabertooth, great knife i used it last deer season that saw works like a swiss army sawblade it cut through bone like a breeze. It did some light chopping with no problems and the knife whittles and cuts very good.

Scandinavian means no secondary edge bevel, one grind that goes right to the edge.

hey cliff.... do you think the Scandinavian bevel is superior (generally)
then the traditional 2 bevels?

 

[KiljoyKutlery]

in that case, no it is not Cliff.

No, there is versatility in a multi-bevel grind.
