Btw im digging the nessmuck. :thumbup:

 

[the straight edge]

No problem. One quick observation that may be important in a purchase decision: it is made for law enforcement-types, hence "TDI LEO." As a result, the belt clip is made for the wider gun belts that law enforcement usually wear. On the ~1 inch regular leather belt I am wearing today, it slides around and moves up a good bit when drawing, but it stays on. I actually have a tactical/gun belt on the way (not just for this knife,) and I suspect it will work much better on that one. I sliced up some cardboard, and it went through it like butter, but it put some decent scratches in the finish. This isn't a knife to use for lots of cutting. As I suspect you know if you're looking at that HK, this is a self-defense type knife.

I wear a 511 trainer belt which is a gun belt so I should be fine.BTW the belt is really awesome and well made if you are getting that one. How do you like the retention on the knife when it is in the sheath? I have heard complaints about it being to loose. Thank You

You better hone your bush craft skills! I am jealous I only have about two acres of woods to test my knives and the sorts.

I wish I had 2 or more acres to test my blades!

I have to say it IS a little looser than I'd like. However, I do not think under normal wear it is going to come out. I held it by the sheath and shook it up and down relatively vigorously and it didn't come out. The same thing, handle pointed down and it did come out. Hold it by the handle and shake and the sheath could be thrown as a blunt weapon. I'm relatively comfortable with it, even a tad loose. I may apply a little superglue in a couple spots and see if that improves anything.

I have 32 acres! 25 of them are wooded!

Give the ATR to me and buy a 0200.

You guys are no help! I actually bought a Chokwe also, got a great deal. I have one on the way to me Im gonna have to get rid of.

Had to rub it in...I've got 1/3, but we're less than 2 blocks from much more "Open Space and Mountain Parks" land. And we have a share in a working (cattle) family ranch in Wyoming. It is about 500 acres, and backs up to the Wind River mountains. (Did I mention that it has a mile long lake and log cabins built in the 1800s?)

If that ATR was plain edge, I'd be trying to swing a deal with you. It is made in Golden, CO, so as you know, it is on my want list. Oh well, somebody else will enjoy it!

 

[spydercobenchmadekai]

It really is a sickness. (Deal made at $260 shipped and ppld.)

That sounds like a super deal. Don't they retail for closer to $450ish if it's the model I'm thinking?

You're one to talk! And yes you did mention that it "has a mile long lake and log cabins built in the 1800s". CO doesn't have hardwood forest's CO has pine, aspen, ceder, oak brush, sage brush, and choke cherry KY has hickory, pine, real oak, walnut, beech, real cherry, and many, many more kinds of trees!

Knife content!

All of them are dull, I dropped my fine spyderco sharpmaker rod on our tile floor (they are very brittle) I ordered another one but it won't be here ti'll Thursday

[thefirstsuspect]

Yeah I saw this in the for sale forum, amazing deal!

A regular small Seb. retails for $350. But this one has a "nuked" treatment, which means that I won't worry about getting the first scratch on it. This is gonna be a user, guys!

The reason it was so cheap is that "sometimes you can feel the action rougher," but it's nothing that a spa treatment at CRK won't fix.

You forgot apple, ash, locust, and cottonwood. We also have Russian olive, real cherry, and maple, but they aren't native. The only ones worth using for a fire are pine, locust, cherry, maple, ash, and Russian olive. Anyway...

How do you like the Sharpmaker? I need a new sharpening system--I'm using the Lansky Delux stones free hand, and it takes a loooong time. I can't justify the $$$ for a Wicked Edge, but the Sharpmaker or Worksharp are both options.

 

[Romba1182]

^^
I am curious as well to know how you like the sharpmaker as well, mountainmist. My lansky is great for some (cheaper) knives, but I do not like the idea of clamping anything with a finished/coated blade or my new BM or Spyderco between two pieces of relatively rough metal.

You are right that the titanium atr's we made in golden, but this is a stainless. It has vg-10 and is made in Seki Japan. Those titaniums are beautiful though!

The SM is great! I can get my folders scary sharp and I can give my fixed blades (mostly beckers/ESEE's) a good working edge( paper cutting/roughly shaving). I would highly recommend a strop (Email me if you want to know were I got mine) or you could make one.

Oh--well good thing that I didn't buy it!

Interesting to hear. Are you using the upgrade stones? or the stock ones? Does anyone have a Worksharp that they could give an opinon of?
