Which FK do you prefer?

[scaryblackrifles]

Which FK is your favorite? I thought it was the FK3 hands down over the BFK personally, but then I got this FK2…. I can’t figure out which one I like more!

Dek1. This goes with me everywhere. FK2\HDFK when I'm actually camping and need to do wood processing things. Oh yeah my beat up 4V light chopper too. They're all great.

My answer is "Yes". The FK3 because of it's sleek sexy lines. I think of Tawny Kitaen in a Whitesnake video when I look at it. The Basic 5 FK because I know I'll just beat the snot out of it in tasks I would never sully the Ferrari with.

DEK 1/2 are my go to as well! That one is sick!

That’s a good point. The FK3 is almost too nice to use!

Personally the FK2 which I regretfully sold years back!

Camping I prefer my FK2. However sometimes prepping firewood little longer blade would be nice so I’m going to try my FK3 next week camping.

That's a well-loved blade.

Good to see you back bro!

FK1 and HDFK for me.

 

[Jason M D.]

FBFK when it gets here.

I prefer the BFK over the fk2 and the fk2 hard/thin I had. It was a while ago, but I think the main reason was the extra blade length and the more pointed top/slightly less belly.

 

[trevitrace]

That's a well-loved blade.

It's treated me very well over the years.

 

[JJ_Colt45]

HDFK was what I reached for everytime I needed/wanted something bigger than an EDC/DEK sized blade so it's by far my favorite of the Field Knives.

BFK based on my limited experience. Prefer the length and more pointed tip without the belly of the FK2. However, that may change when I manage to get ahold of a SDFK and/or HDFK. Likewise I prefer the DEK1 over the 2 or 3, based on looks. Should have my first DEK1 (user) in hand tomorrow, to start carrying every day, for a work knife, at least until I can get my hands on an EDC 1.2.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Curveball here. I’m kind of leaning towards FK3 with FK2 scales…

HDFK if I only get one.

 

[cpirtle]

It's treated me very well over the years.

Pre-Delta even, that's a nice piece of history.

The FK1 is my choice as well, mine is Delta, would be curious to compare timelines on the two. Mine is down in my closet because it's an EDC, will try and grab pics later.

 

[Murphjd25]

I’ll always prefer the FK2 because of the belly on the blade. Such a useful knife.

 

[dhwfd46]

I can see where the FK2 belly would be superior for bushcraft, and processing game (skinning, butchering) but I’m getting up there and my hunting and playing in the woods are probably behind me. Pointed tip with less belly works better for me, cutting open mortar/concrete bags, 60-70 year old taped electrical connections and trimming a little off of studs/joists, remodeling in old crooked houses. No matter how close you measure, especially with junk lumber and Chinese pre-hung doors available today, often find whittling and shims are necessary to get things to line up. No such thing as putting windows/doors in perfectly plumb and square these days and expecting them to work.

Aforementioned FK1 along with the only CPK I’ve ever modded. Nathan had some choice thoughts on it when he saw it at Blade Show a few years back
