I like the blade on this knife. Who makes this knife?

Curiously enough, this month I've carried the meanest and the cutest Fixed Blades that ever entered my rotation in all these years, and they are one of the best combos out there.

I was thinking, and I needed to reach both extremes to find comfort in my EDC system fixed blades.

One is 4 times as long

12 times as heavy

but both are, at the moment, two of my favorite knives from my collection.

Long live fixed blades, and the people ho EDC them! :thumbup:
 
I rotate between bravo 2, blind horse small work horse, and d'eskabar all scout carry in custom sheaths
 
I can't remember if I've posted it here before. I have in the EDC thread :).

I love it. I've been using it as my main edc fixed blade sice I've purchased it. Kitchen duty to prying fixed load bars out of trailers at work, its been great. KaBar hit the nail on the head with their s35vn too, keeps an edge just like my ZT elmax's. The size is perfect for me and comfortable in all fencing grips. Just need to watch the handle transition to the blade when playing.

Like most production blades, the edge and point was a little thick when I got it. I'm considering sending it for a regrind, just to make it that much nicer. It doesn't need it, but I can only imagine what kind of slicer it could be if the primary bevel met the swedge and thinned out a tad (like a KaBar BK5 /15). The semi-custom sheath it comes with is OK, mine stretched pretty quick from carrying cross draw on my belt. I now pocket carry it in my back pocket. Custom kydex is the next step!

I paid the Canadian price for it (over $200) and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
