A little Brussels sprouts prep work for my wife Shannon so she could roast them in the oven and while I coal roasted a yellow onion and grill a pork shoulder steak with some pork chops. The SFB was used to slice up the onion and the pork on my plate. 6DEDC5FB-9EDA-42D8-AC5C-C6009543FABC.jpeg

I really like this design and I have to agree with F FSA that the SFB is an awesome knife and I like to see more of these knives being made and used. I also hope that David Mary David Mary that he makes a larger version of this model. I would love a longer version with thick stock and a longer version like mine in 3/32" stock as well.

I’m going to add to this post about this wonderful knife. The first thing you will notice is mine has a full flat vex grind versus the low sabervex / Scandivex grind. The reason I went this route is I don’t like the other grind or even plain Scandi grinds as they offer me no advantage in the way I use my knives. This one has the green and black SureTouch scales which I like.

Great looking knife. I love the green. Very nice photos to go along with your kitchen and featherstick evaluation. I think that design will be popular.

Some beach knives for this morning. I have a handful of knives in good steel for using out near the water, and this bowie has become my new first choice.

How about a little more slicing and chopping prep for my salad. I don’t know about anyone else but I love raw green onions and dill pickles in my salads.

I've also found that this is a pretty good kitchen knife. It's good because I can use it as an all-around camp knife.

I also love the suretouch; the green was a good choice on yours.

I know he mentioned discussing it with Jarod
back in post #14 but I'm not sure if it actually happened.

I emailed him the CAD files for some SFBs and SFB XLs.

I blinked and now there’s three variations….

Haha I want to see if there is still room to make one or two of these as well, with a slightly narrower but much longer blade (squares are 1", for reference):

This was my first David Mary knife, and the collection keeps growing!

Ha! That really is the growed-up version. Great collection. I only have four, and 3 of them are Good Knife Co. designs, but I should be adding another before long.

I like the third from the left. Haven’t ever seen that before.

That one is "Bumblebee Sam". David named it...
As much as I love my Bowie and Smatchet: the Prevail is my favorite...
