All the information is in the various sales threads and opinions of them by users are all over the place.I see Carothers fixed blades go QUICK on the sale posts. What makes these knives so sought after?
This. Imo they are the best thing going right now, especially for those who actually use their knives.Their attention to detail is second to none. From how they take and handle pre-orders to customer service, Carothers is the gold standard on how a small knife company should conduct themselves.
The knives use top shelf steels with an outstanding heat treat. The models that I own are well balanced. They cut effectively yet have a geometry that can stand up to abuse. Buy with confidence!
At close to that price point, I’d start with an FK2 (2nd from right). It’s a great size camp knife but won’t get you far if you’re wanting a chopper.Thank you Sir..
Thus far, in my adventures, LT Wright, Bark River, Battle Horse have been my "Gold Standard" I want to dive into a Carothers, but don't like spending over $300 for a knife at this point in the hobby. Any recommendations on the best product per capita model to start?
