If I knew I was going to die, I’d keep a few blades for my family to have and the rest, I’d give them away to friends here on BF to use. As for cremation? I’m kinda undecided in whether I want to be worm dirt or ash.

I'm going with the ash. Otherwise, that's pretty much the plan I've posted hereabouts myself.

We could always ask Nate if our ashes could go into the creek. Or maybe Tanto would roll us and smoke us.

Maybe the Sig SDFK. I've been nothing but impressed with mine. Granted, I have no experience with the HDFK.
You should get one and let us know what you think!

I’m in the same boat. Wondering what the SDFK feels like in hand, use, etc. Is yours a user?Maybe the Sig SDFK. I've been nothing but impressed with mine. Granted, I have no experience with the HDFK.

Maybe
He said he would do another run of SDFK next year, but didn’t mention about the Signature Series SDFK being an option.

Yeah, I use my ssdfk anytime I can. It's surprisingly nimble and light for its size. I've used it to baton and process wood, chop tree roots, process large game, and perform labor/utility tasks (cut wire, trim pvc pipe, cut weed cloth, etc.). It has enough belly to skin well and it's tip is pronounced enough that I haven't had need of a "pointier" tip.
I've never found it lacking in any way. It's as perfect a knife as I've ever found. I prefer it over every other fixed blade or folding knife I've ever used. Don't get me wrong though, it's not a kitchen or filet knife. It can perform those tasks if needed though.

It's a beast, Jonny. If you can get your hands on one, I think you'll take to it in a hurry.

Very nice, that’s what owning a knife is all about, using it. I’ll take yours if you ever decide to sell!It's a beast, Jonny. If you can get your hands on one, I think you'll take to it in a hurry.

And yet...just when we thought he was in...he pulled himself back out...
Hopefully one of our own gets it.

This one will sting...but I just paid that truck off last year and I really didn't want another payment just before embarking on my adventure...life throws curve balls, we learn to hit them as young men or we don't get to be old men!

I’ll be buried with my HDFK. It ain’t goin’ nowhere.
I like the gradual transformation/thinning of your edge over years of sharpening. What kind of stones are you using?

I use DMT interrupted diamond stones, the polka dot ones. All grits from black to gold.
