Definitely one of the better sharpening jobs I got from Wauseon. Also this is the first knife I got without the sharpening/controll sticker so don't really know who to credit.

You're in for a treat guys.

I'm going to take a guess that most of them have went through the hands of the "G Man"

Looking FAT guys!! No satin hogs yet??

 

[Surfsidemel]

FANTASTIC... THANK YOU!!!

 

[Will York]

Great comparison—especially the spines. Thanks! Very nice looking strip job, btw. Steel looks clean.

 

[Spirch]

hogb8 spine = both of them!

how about weight?

 

[Leonardo63]

yeah, nice- thought there was a high probability of being gremlin free at least on the FFG.

Very nice. That’s the standard grind right? Where is the point of balance on that one?

Damn that makes a great stripper.
Nice comparison pic.

Aside from the enormous difference in blade stock, I’d be curious what someone who owns the B8 and HOG B8 both in standard grind think of the difference in blade cant. The B8 blade canted forward and the HOG B8 was not I believe.

Right where the plunge line is at the spine.

Wow, that is remarkably clean for a stripper. I have something to look forward to!

Here's a Feather in Norway!
Snapped a couple of fast ones before it got too dark outside.

Toad, since you won't need that top one anymore, just send it my way. Thanks!

Now that’s not something you hear everyday!

Tell you what resinconnoisseur! You PM me your address and I'll send you some saucy pictures of it along with some gravlax and bottle of aquavit if you partake.
My best and final offer!

 

[resinguy]

That is a most generous offer from a fellow Hog, and I must respectfully decline at this time. OTOH, if work ever takes me to your neck of the woods (It could happen! We have a plant in Malmo) then we're on!

 

[Spirch]

i expect that hogb8 to be my preferred knife for chopping wood, it will act like a wedge
