Sweet blade! I didn't know they did a micarta run of those. CongratesDadpool !
Yeah! Natural canvas and dark green canvas. I don't know if the original Ti/Ti model is discontinued, but it's about 2 oz. heavier. I've owned knives north of 10 oz. before, and it's just too heavy even for me.
I also just like micarta; I love how it acquires character.I should have thought of that! Still light enough to grab one now, though. My XM-18 3.5 is on the right for a size comparison.

My god... you wanted a big knife and you got a BIG knife... I think that would make a Medford look inadequate...

I believe Medford makes Fat Daddy models with 0.26" blade stock, but I've never owned one. The Husky does make every Medford I own look more reasonable, though.

The Nymble is a fidgeter's wonderland! It can be spydieflicked, front flicked, spyderholed, back flicked, spydiedropped, slowrolled >>> the limit is only contained by your imagination. It has a PERFECT detent, imho.

Fast forward a year, and my beloved Husky has been sold and replaced with a Hinderer XM-24.
In hindsight, sure: I should have gone with the XM-24 in the first place. But I didn't know then what I now know, and the journey is part of what makes knife collecting fun.
For anyone who missed the Hoback drama, here's 100+ pages of light reading.

When it's not exactly Made in the USA - Hoback
Hoback now admitted they source parts from out of country From ig Sorry for the small text, but it's what the company posted. My immediate thought is what a scummy thing to do in all of your advertising using the claim USA made (sorry missing 100 percent mind you), when it's really more...

Talking about a bad decision after so many great suggestions by others, but also a later good decision to replace that Hoback by what I think you should have bought in the first place.

You should correct the title and refer - for instance - to post 48Fast forward a year, and my beloved Husky has been sold and replaced with a Hinderer XM-24.
