Most recently I was intriqued by the Fallkniven folder, model, U2
it's size and the laminated blade that is said to be about RC 64
all sounded pretty good. But, you always would like to handle one
before ordering, as I have a penchant for blades that have a thin
edge.
Mike made comment that he had one that I could try before I buy
and would swing by to allow me to handle said knife.
Swing by he did, and Gary liked it quite a bit, I looked up and said
that does it, I'll have to get one for myself. At that point Mike took
a step back, smiled and said, "You've already have one Gary, have
a great day" and turned and walked out while I sat there in stunned
silence with that glow of getting a new knife all over me
In fact I think that I didn't get the chance to even stand to shake his
hand, so stunned by his generosity was I that it was minutes later that
I realized that I had forgot to do that.
Thanks Mike, it's a very sharp knife, he had used it a little over a year
without the need to put edge to stone, only stropping on a charged
piece of leather to bring it back to hair popping sharpness, which was how
I found it to be on opening the blade.
Nice sharp, light weight knife, highly recommended, as is Mike
