W.A. Surls for Ladies

Warrior108 · Nov 1, 2016

Hey Allen,

Doing a bit of a campaign here I guess.

I posted in the Fiddleback and Osprey forums and thought I'd cover you last so I could share the example of Chris' knife with you. Anyway, up for your consideration also ...

Hey Chris,

I posted a thread over in the Fiddleback forum and thought I'd toss the same request/idea out to you. With regard to your line, I would like to give a bit of feedback with an example ...

The Warthog shown in the thread certainly is an exceptional specimen and a beautiful knife but it ends up feeling like a heavier/larger knife given the materials and it is also 1/8" vs 3/32". Of the 4 Warthogs I have, it is the heaviest and has the widest handle. Targeting knives for ladies, you'll want to steer towards lighter / thinner handles.

I haven't used one yet, but by the look of it I'd reckon a WASurls patch knife!

Yep, I would say there are a lot of WAS models that would fit the bill. From my personal experience of what I've owned, I'd guess they would include (but aren't limited to):
Palmer and Big Palmer - After letting my significant other use the purple handled Palmer, she said she wished the handle was a bit bigger. I then produced the red cherry bomb Big Palmer and her comment (with a smile) was "Yeah, that's what I'm talking about"

Patch - Although I have larger hands and found that I didn't carry my Patch, this would probably be a good fit/consideration.

Bobcat - Absolutely, this would be a great sized EDC for female or male.

Shark - Probably.

I don't have any experience with the following other WAS models but they look promising from specs on paper: Georgia Traveler, Stingray EDC, Revere, Minuteman, Hornet ...
