So… I’ve had this for about a week now. And I have to admit, I like it more than I thought I would. In fact, I managed to score an FK3 in the last sale, and worked out trade for an FK2 just before receiving this one as I figured I would only need ONE anyway. But after getting it in-hand, there was no way I could part with it.
My only gripe might be is that I miss the jimping on the thumb ramp. But I understand why it’s not there, so it isn’t really an issue per se. Fantastic value in any case. As always, thanks again, Nathan.

Those Tuahati axes are a blast to use.
