I sent Josh an email about the D-Al experimental and he said they haven't experimented with them yet in cutting evaluations. This knife looks like functional art and I would like to have the boys from San Marcos cook one up for me - but I need to know its capabilities!

Any help on finding out about this experimental knifes cutting ability from comm wire to rope to nylon webbing??? Plus how it would compete with the HT and EB series. The forward swoop of the curved blade looks like it would cut a little easier then the straight blade of the Tantos and the Spear tip or clip points of the other knives.

Thanks!
 
I handled Duanes personal knife at the So CAl show. I didn't get to cut anything with it, but the satin finish was nice, and the blade was a shallow hollow grind recurve. The scales were carbon fiber and I think the sheath was a pancake leather job.

I was there on Sat and must have missed Duane. Oh well, maybe I'll just put my money in NBA jewelry...

:rolleyes:
 
Duane has made this knife for that exact purpose. It is a climber's knife through and through. It is made to eat up rope, webbing, and anything of that genre. The recurve blade allows the knife a finer point of contact on its cutting edge. This focuses more energy on a smaller point allowing it to cut better. It's all physics. Recurves just cut rope and such better.

KB - I meant straps like what James Bond would be cutting as a judge at a Hawaiian Tropics Bikini contest. Although its good to know it can cut other things too...

;) ;) ;)
