Well guys & gals, found a new love...The Bonecutter.. Got mine from the DOTD on a Friday & it was in my grubby hands on Monday! Now that's FAST!
First thing I noticed were the smooth & graceful lines this blade has. Having more belly than my BAS, it tends to balance a bit more forward which I like. I also like the slight curve to the handle & the wider pommel which helps the balance . Needless to say, the knife fits like a glove & just begs to chop something anytime I hold it ( a LOT).
After about 15 minutes with a razor hone, I needed to see how she performed. So went out back to my usual cutting material. Sugarcane, NO contest. Actually cut through 2 of em the same time. (thanks to the forward balance
).
Next came the coconut palm. Sliced (not chopped!) through a branch 5" across the flats! At this point I noticed that, where my BAS tends to twist in the hand, the Bonecutter stays solid. No twisting. OK, so I wipe my drool & press on...
Final test media, an old weathered 2x4. This wood is good & hard. NO issue for the Bonecutter. Bit into the wood with little effort on my part, & in no time I had 2 pieces of weathered 2x4. Checked the edge on it....Just as sharp as when I started..
The sheath is a great fit. I especially like the fact that there's no lacing on the front, giving the sheath a really clean look. Great looks & even better performance. Whats not to like?
Sgt. Khadka Makes one hell of a knife! Any of you guys that are sitting on the fence about getting a Bonecutter, Get one. You won't be disappointed!
THANK YOU YANGDU!
