Yojimbo 2 - Won't Be Long Now!

Well, for utility use a wharncliffe is shockingly easy to sharpen, keeps the edge in contact with the media being cut and the tip tends to 'grab' material much more aggressively than a trailing/drop/clip point. I like wharncliffe blades when I'm dealing with largely manmade material like cardboard, tape, or cordage. I like a hawkbill for the same reasons, but find it significantly more difficult to sharpen. Hope that helps.

Agree fully with this post. Surprisingly, aside from a recurve blade, straight edges on a knife blade seem to cause a lot of torment for people to sharpen (twntos included). Logically, I cannot see why as the cutting edge being straighter would tend to accept a bevel quite evenly throughout.

Thanks for the pics, Eloreno! The knife looks so cool closed, yet so aggressive opened. I will definitely have to be selective about pulling it out in front of non-knife people. Is the bottom pic an original Yojimbo 1 next to the Yojimbo 2?

The bottom pic is the lightweight manix2 and yojimbo2. :thumbup:

Oh! I see now. Should have looked at the pic immediately above it better. In that light the lightweight Manix2 almost passes for black. How do you like the lightweight Manix2, btw? Can't decide if I want one (I already have a regular Manix2) or if it's too much of a "toy" for me. I have a Yo2 on its way to me right now, however.
 
I really like the lightweight manix2. I'm sure it's not as tough as the regular manix2, but it's tough enough for my day to day cutting needs.
You're going to like that yo2!
 
I received mine yesterday. It's an awesome looking knife and very well made, but unfortunately the ergonomics don't really work for my hands. I think I'll send it back for a refund.
