So.... anyone got any more of them uh Hog Badger pics man? Y’all w the satin HB in hand don’t be holdin out on us bros!
Now that’s a thing of beauty right there !!!
Congrats and thanks for the pics
How would you compare it to an SOB ?
Is yours a satin blade? Curious if the satin blades will be thinner than CG and BG blades. I know I like the feel of the handle on my standard Ratmandu way better than the satin INFIDU that I used to have.It's... Uh.. Umm.. Well.. Small? The handle is actually relatively thin.
Can't upload pics for some reason I'll try again tomorrow.
I guess I shouldnt say small. It definitely doesn't have the heft or girth as the cpk HDFK. But more like a infimandu. This could be.a bushcraft blade but with skinny handles. Idk, right now I have the feeling you'll see a lot of them on the exchange.
Luke The Spook - it looks like int he first spine shot the grinds are even (assuming you are meaning the spine after the handle), and then the second picture not so much, although hard to tell with lighting and angle....
Is that what you are referring to? Just trying to key in on where to look...

You should've called the shop. A couple months ago I had a cosmetic issue with a new blade and the shop handled it. Emailed a prepaid shipping label, so it didn't cost me anything either.Yeah they are pretty uneven Up close. I Guess I shouldn’t complain because it’s not a functional issue. I think the hog badger is just a victim of its own hype. I had too high expectations. It’s not a bad knife just doesn’t hit the spot for me compared to what I’ve been buying lately (for a lot less money)
Thank you for the pics I appreciate the comparison pics.

Its not rounded. However I did notice that it is slightly asymmetrical where it begins to taper into the point. In other words, one side of the blade begins to get pointy before the other side. Not by a lot or anything and it is pointy.What's the tip on this model? Pointy and delicate or rather robust? Looking at the pics of the Hog Badger with orange G10 handle I get a strange feeling that the tip one this knife is...rounded (blunted?). I hope it's just some perspective distortion - especially since I have a Hog badger on order.
I want to propose a question to sample some opinions - I've been looking at Crosiers' blade and went back to the original posts to try and understand what I should be seeing in a photo so I know what to expect. Look at these and if you have any thoughts comparing them, I'd be interested to know.
Something in me says, if I see Crosiers blade back on November 1, I'm in - Now I know how some of you all have felt over certain things in the same way, I'm gettin it
