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.

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!
