I won this KABAR Snake Charmer in the cucumber carving contest.
Thank you Kabar and Guyon for the fun contest and this great
knife.
When these came out I didn't get the Snake Charmer thing at
first. Once I realized this was a bird and trout knife it
started to make sense. Reading it was S35VN was what made me
decide I wanted one.
So I couldn't believe how lucky I was to win one of these for carving cucumbers.
When it arrived and I first held it I completely understood the
ring on the end. It will be so secure in slippery hands. I will
definitely be more comfortable using this around water than a
regular knife.
I like the jimping, the flat grind and the pointy tip. It feels
very controllable and precise in my hand. It came out of the box
VERY sharp too.
I also like the sheath a lot. Its easy to use and feels very
secure with the knife hanging upside down.(handle down)
If there was one thing I could change about this knife it would
be the color of the bright green sheath. I would prefer black or brown. But
that is a very minor thing on this great knife.
For the last several years I have used a BK14 as my fishing
knife. It has done a great job but this Snake Charmer is my new
fishing knife.
I will post pictures of the next trout I catch being cleaned
with this.
