I found one fo these at a good price. Does anyone have any experiences with this knife? I heard it was designed by Steve Dick of TK magazine, for woods travel.
 
There was a favorable review if the knife in TK Magazine a while back. However almost all knives are reviewed favorably there and if one of the contributors helped design it then I'd view the review with suspicion.;)
 
It's a decent handy "jack of all trades" camp knife, if I found one cheap enough I might bite.

TOPS kydex sheaths can be pretty lame in my experience though, so you might figure in the cost of having a new sheath made if you keep the knife.
 
I've checked them out in person.. I really like the design, and ergo's.. Steve is very much a student of survival, and it shows in this design. Heat treated by Paul Bos its got it under the hood too;) Great all purpose cutter IMHO.
 
I had one for 2 years and it was great. Not to heavy and the blade is thin and wide which makes it a great slicer. I abused mine to heck and back and it never let me down. The only reason I don't still own it is....my brother needed a knife for the sandbox and he really liked it so I gave it to him. I will buy another if I can find one reasonable. Hope that helps...Jim
 
i have always liked the looks/design of the Pasayten.. i love the wide blade..
i might also have to pick one up someday.... they seem like great all around woods knives...
 
Well I just bought another....Thanks for bringig this up....now I'll have to sleep in the garage....:D
 
I'd always wanted to play with one, they look great. I like the design. My only concern is the handle thickness (may not be an issue).

Which one is he? Left or right? It's anyone's guess.
 
My guess would be the left one, but with some type of hat.

TOPS knives usually don't get my attention but the Pasayton does. I wouldn't mind putting one through its paces. I would say go for it, at worst you could prolly unload it to someone on the forum to get your money back.
 
I'm guessing the one on the right, the one on the left has too much hair. :rolleyes:



Or you can pick from these two :D:

HOLY CRAP DOC - you look like my Dad's brother or something! I knew I liked you for a reason!

Just bought two of them today. They came sharp as razors. I have not had a chance to use them, but they look like they will be fine woods knives.
