Reaction
The reaction I've gotten from people on this knife has been very
favorable. It's interesting enough on first glance that non-knife
people are not scared by it nor are afraid to use it...that's a
good thing!
Usage
This is the real meat, how the knife functions as a knife: It's
great! I've used it for all sorts of minor cuting chores around
school, as well as food and it's begged for more. The thin edge
holds a nice sharp edge, and is easy to keep sharp on my Spyderco Sharpmaker. The
handly is comfortable during extended use(Stripping about 8' of
copper wire) and I never felt the slightest slippage. With it's
flat grind, and thin edge, I've even been using it as a bread
knife.
In carrying it around I've noticed something interesting, the
carbon-fiber handles are grippy, and hard enough that they have
started to wear the outer layer of copper off the rivits on my
jeans. It's not enough damage to be noticable on the jeans, but
on the handle is a small area where the copper is visable. Not a
bug, more of an undocumented feature. My one suggestion to
improve the knife would deal with the sheath, I think it would
benifit from some type of metal throat, alligning the knife to
insert it takes two hands, which is inconvinent.
