What is your favorite model and why?

[Comprehensivist]

^^That was another awesome post @M4Super90 . I always enjoy reading the way you describe the features of various models and explain which ones work for you (or not.)

As usual, we share some of the same conclusions on the models we have in common. Too much forward rake on the bottom of the pommel = Less finger mobility on the bottom of the handle. Rounds butts = Comfort on shorter handles! Angled butts with sharper corners = Not my preferred configuration. The angled butt is why let go of my Warthog. The even shorter Nomad and Tusk handles are keepers for me because of the round butts (maybe Chris should have named it the Tush instead of the Tusk. )

The Nomad will likely grow on you once you use it some more. I just got mine back from Mashed Cat for a custom kydex sheath that I will probably wear as a necker when I travel.

I really like your integrated design of the K Raptor handle and Warthog blade. Just the right size and combination of features. I think that one would be very popular in the line-up.

Thanks again for a cool and thoughtful post!

I would love to see this sheath. I just bought a Nomad, so my curiosity is peaked.

I sent three knives to Eric at Mashed Cat. He turned them around in about ten days. I am very happy with the quality of these sheaths.

That’s perfect, thanks for taking the time to share these pics. Way back in the day I ordered a kydex sheath from them for my Rat Solution (I no longer have this since I was introduced to the Fiddleback family). I loved the quality.

I actually contacted them to see if they had made a pattern from your Nomad. I would have ordered one right then and there, but he said he didn’t make a pattern and would need the knife. Bummer!! My Nomad has begun its journey to South America and won’t be back to the good ol’ USA for a couple years.
