Show your HDFK!

Is it still 20 DPS? Only the 2000 stone ?it looks amazing .
It is perfect knife but I would add a few things and change a few to help fit my needs. I love mine, but I feel nervous it could break.

No, it’s about 15 degrees, that’s where I naturally sharpen freehand.

You’re not gonna “break” this knife man. Use it like it was intended and you won’t have ANY problems.

I’d be shocked if you could break it without intentionally trying to do so. Like 91bravo said, just use it within reason and you’ll be GTG!

That notch, that deep and in that location, reduces the durability of that knife by a large margin. Due to the proximity to the fuller, I would estimate probably by 50% or worse. The SDFK would have been a better choice for this treatment as would a shallower notch farther up the spine.

This will limit your margin for error when batoning, chopping, prying etc. In my opinion, this loss of functionality is a larger offset than having a dull area on your edge when striking. I personally would only use a ferro rod if I had to and I would not mind a slightly dulled area. But if I was using a ferro rod regularly I would probably carry a piece of hacksaw blade or similar for that purpose.

I've said it before and I will say it again. I have never seen a fixed blade that I like more than the HDFK! And, 91bravo, I love yours!!!! I have one identical to that and I love it!!! Never get tired of admiring the way these great knives were built! Great design, and everything I would want in a knife.

Mine has some miles on it. It has slaughtered veggies in the kitchen, batoned wood for many fires and whittled many cooking sticks. My favorite fixed blade!
