The right tool for the job. I love this knife
I was actually looking at preordering one of these today from DLT. Looks like the perfect food prep Fixie and your post just reaffirmed my thoughts!

My Friday pair featuring this beautiful 2AB Barlow. I really wish these were carbon steel instead of stainless. This would’ve been a user by now instead of a safe queen.

First, those are awesome knives!
Second, I whole heartedly recommend you get a JX6. I love mine so much I have another on pre-order to get it in my preferred red linen micarta. I originally got it for food prep, but it excels at everything and carries great in the pocket with the provided sheath. For me it is as close to the perfect knife as I have handled and used. I’m just saying I went into it because I wanted a knife for a specific reason and fell in love.
 
These, unsurprisingly, turned out to be great knives. Not just a good collector item, or a good memento of The Porch (although it very much is that), but also just a really excellent pocket knife. I'm a little sad when I see them posted with no patina - you're really missing an important part of the beauty of this knife if you don't carry it and cut things with it.

We're supposed to cut things with our shiny cutting tools?! 🤔


Something new and something stainless are my excuses for lack of patina on today's choices. 😁
