And my next question: why is this flat gring so wanted by all?On a mid-size knife I have no need or want to choke up onto a choil.
I like to hold the contoured scales and not bare metal when making cuts.
I like the edge as close to the handle as possible.
The exception....Choils on knives with blades 8" to around 11" are very useful in that they alter the balance from a blade heavy chopper to a more neutral balance for finer detail work and control.
YMMV
Just my .02 worth, but the ratmandu is normally saber grind and sr101 Steel. Now infi ratmandu (Infidu) have been released at shows, Ganza’s so limited releases all saber grind. So here’s a limited run ratmandu in Infi !! plus a full flat grind rarity !!!!!!And my next question: why is this flat gring so wanted by all?
Thank you for your info
LOLOLO..... yeah, was thinking the same thing since it will be a regular offering and always there when you want it.....there will still be feed in the trough a week from nowJust my .02 worth, but the ratmandu is normally saber grind and sr101 Steel. Now infi ratmandu (Infidu) have been released at shows, Ganza’s so limited releases all saber grind. So here’s a limited run ratmandu in Infi !! plus a full flat grind rarity !!!!!!
So now it’s probably nothing special, and will become a regular release. So I wouldn’t rush to order
Just saying lol

For me: Full flat grind gives better slicing performance and better for most of the stuff I do with my knives. The trade off is stoutness. Saber grind is great for improving strength (esp. lateral) because there's just more material. It's also better at forcing something to split (think splitting maul vs. hatchet).And my next question: why is this flat gring so wanted by all?

Can any hogs please share the blade height for the Infidu/Ratmandu series? Thanks!
Same specs, BUT in INFI and Full Height Flat Grind AWESOMENESS times INFINITY XOXOThe regular Ratmandu has a 1-3/8" tall blade according to my tape measure lol. I would assume it is the same dimensions as this limited one.
My satin Infidu with black micarta weighs just shy of 10oz so 9.6ish ? I’m using a non digital scale.Any guesses on overall weight?
No, just buy it like normal next week Wednesday...Is this going to be a situation where we need super-skills (or specialized software) to get our email in? Highly desirable knife....
But this one can be different... different handle, different blade steel, different grind, different blade finish. See - differentAnd I had just placed an order for a ratmandu....
