Well, I sold my only two FB knives today...both sold rather quickly. Obviously, I lost some money in the process, but I learned some things.
I like the FB knives. The quality is impeccable. The many grip options are wonderful. Very clean lines; perfection.
I do not need/like the 1/8" blade thickness for my VERY casual use. I don't go to "the woods." I want my carry knife to be thin enough to slice an apple. The FB knives I had were VERY sharp, but when slicing an apple...THIN IS IN.
My preferred knife will be 7" total length, or less, in order that I can carry it as horizontal cross-draw. A spine thickness of ~3/32" is one that I would prefer, and perhaps a hollow-grind and without a guard... to be more useful in the kitchen for veggie chopping, etc. I acted in haste in my purchase of the first two FB's, but will use what I learned to purchase fixed blades in the future. The nice folks that I've met here are quick to help and to offer suggestions...much appreciated. Thanks to all.
