Hi all
This is a wonderful thread and I hope it never ends.
I love hollow handled knive and really don't understand all the hate directed at them.
Haters (like Leghog) always repeat the same thing again and again like a broken record:
1)They are weak at the blade to handle connection.
2)the saw doesn't work.
3)they are too big.
4)they are too expensive.
My answer is:
1)if the knife is a well constructed knife then it is not weak as we have seen proven by all the well known makers of old and by Mr Sam Wilson, I mean a knife that you can do chin ups on? What more do you want?!?
2)the saw is meant to be used on thin aircraft skin, poles of small diameter, and to make notches not cut down trees, and it does what it was designed for.
3)the size of a knife is a matter of personal prefrance and it also depends on what you expect to do with your knife.
to some they are big, to some they are not big enough.
4)a high quality custom piece is never cheap, be it a knife, a car, a watch, or even a pair of shoes.
So if one doesn't understand what quality is and what its worth then I guess I understand why they would think only the cheap or basic knives are practical.
Bottom line is
I think HH knives are practical, functional, and cool as hell
As for those that don't like them, I respect you're opinion...... But I can't help but feel sorry for all the hate you got in you.
