Just a short outing today with a few blades. Mostly to try out my new Essential by Dave Wenger.
A bit about my knife likes and dislikes. I prefer a user knife over fancy shiny ones. I like a good grip and a handle that locks into your hand. I don't like big knives very much as they can be bulky and heavy with just a few exceptions. I really don't like small knives as I find them basically a useless little toy and would rather carry a folder. I find the around a 7" OAL to be the minimum that I will own and use.
This essential is about 7 1/4" OAL with a 3 1/4" blade and 3" edge. Made of 80crv2 which is a tough, fine grain steel. It’s a well thought out design that tickles my sweet spot with knives. Even has a flared copper lanyard tube that doubles as a bow drill divot.
This a smaller knife that gives you confidence when using it. Contact Dave and get you one, as you will not be disappointed.
