Those Grohmann’s are great knives. She looks pleased with it! 😀

She loved it. If I didn't have a polecat and custom on the books I'd snag the magnacut version. I still might have to buy I have to talk timelines first. If completion dates are far enough apart I can swing it. I try and pay for knives from side work.
 
With the 2 I have on order I can't rightly speak for the belt knife but please post lots of pictures as I will request one once funding dictates it's ok.

The first belt knife I got to play with I was making a kydex sheath for and the guy let me play with it for a few days (semi acquaintance). I clearly remember thinking it was the silliest knife I had seen and wasn't worth the cost of the sheath. After a day I knew I had to have one. I now have 2 and will need a 3rd in magnacut. I have one saber and one flat and the flat is the way to go. Natalie made one cut with it today and her eyes lit up it was awesome.

I had the same thought at first, but it had great geometry to start. And then I ground it thinner. Very useful handle too.

I just reground a Grohman a couple weeks ago in fact.

Do you have any pictures? I'd love to see it. Though I'd hate to loose my patina on mine. It's a modest lime and watermelon etch but it was a great. Camping trip with the family.
 
I took pictures to show the owner, but deleted them afterwards.

Be careful. I did that, then went through the rest of the sub. I bought one. Then I bought one. Then I spoke for 2 more... Now I'm asking about another model.... Hhhmm. But I NEED it!

I'm at 5, with 2 more on order (Badger Scout, and a new unannounced model based on a current model).
 
Yeah it happens quick. I'll settle for 4 until the budget allows. I'll have a belt knife and skinny fat Bowie at some point. And an edchef. And....
 
Number 3 from left has my vote. Another ‘wishing’’ it was headed this way. Where’s the snuffles emoticon when you need it.

That's terrible 😥 but black ice is unforgiving

Isn't black ice a name of some sort of dessert in Canada?

It's just like the big part of northern hemisphere population belives that it's tropical in Sydney all year round...

Sure, I've only wore long pants a dozen times in the last 10 years (weddings/funerals/legal matters)... but then I did get ridiculed for wearing shorts for NYE in Las Vegas... and there are parts of Sydney (greater metropolitan area... slightly bigger than the whole of Lebanon...) that folks have to scrape off hoarfrost to be able to drive to work in the morning...
