Survivors: other knives you like

[Riz!]

If yu care to elaborate on it there is a thread for the folders that survive fans use.

I got the FK today...

And i already cut myself!

 

[Hard Knocks]

Oh man, I'm hoping for tomorrow! Is this the first one you've handled from Nathan?

 

[Tinbanger]

Yes, it's my first. It feels really good. I really like balance and handle feels good. I don't love the g10, feels cheep. I got the Forest green g10.

 

[Hard Knocks]

I haven't had one in G10. I got an extra set of scales in the forest green, though. It would be nice if he offered texturing

 

[Tinbanger]

They have some texture, but i like micarta.

 

[Hard Knocks]

I'll bet someone on the preorder list will swap out for their micarta. I've seen quite a few wanting the forest green.

 

[Tinbanger]

Yeah, I've seen some asking. I'll try them out for a while. I do need to put a dangler on though.

 

[JustinFournier]

I have a set of scales I could swap you, but it's a pair of OD green G10 so not helping much.

 

[Tinbanger]

Thanks for the offer Justin, but I'm hoping for some micarta or tero tuff

 

[Hard Knocks]

The FK I received today I requested in unbuffed natural micarta. This is the first one I've had that wasn't buffed. It is ROUGH, I love it! My blue denim was so finely finished I hated to put the first scratch on it for awhile. This one screams to be used hard which I thoroughly plan to do.

 

[Tinbanger]

Did you contact Nathan directly?

 

[Hard Knocks]

I requested that in the preorder thread, but you will probably have your best luck by contacting Jo directly. She's been very helpful.

 

[Tinbanger]

I'll look into it. Thanks

 

[Hard Knocks]

No problem. I saw you posted over in CPK, you'll get something figured. Good luck bud.

 

[Tinbanger]

Hk, have you noticed if there is a difference in weight between the g10 and micarta?

 

[Brian77]

Yes I have both. The G10 is heavier. Nathan told me the knife was balanced for the Micarta. I much prefer the micarta for a number of reasons...

Thanks, I was wondering if that was the case.

 

[Hard Knocks]

Yep, I've got one of each sitting in front of me, and I agree with Brian.

I think I like the ScrapYard offerings that I've gotten from Busse's OP2W as well as the others. Made my Trash-1 get nekkid last night, got a pretty good etch on the logo first. Could do without the choil but that's on most knives for me

Of their smaller blades though the Mean Street Ergo is really something. Phenomenal handle ergos on it, for my hand at least.
