Having handled all of the knives there, Christof's blade certainly was the lightest knife, aside from the Fiddleback's hunter. ... For myself, this is a rather important issue. I keep stating over and over again in my chopping tests, that the SOD and RD-9 outchop my big koyote leuku but only marginally. I don't even consider toting around those heavy knives though. The leuku often finds a place nestled in my pack
Really liked your comments Ken. And I agree about the weight. The weight thing is what keeps enchanting me this knife. I'm jealous you got to handle the other knives. But most big knives I don't like to carry because of weight. This one won't be a problem.
Oh, I did sand the jimping and inner radius a bit with some 400 grit paper...just to soften them a bit.
And if I get the chance, I'll do some more batonning and chopping with bigger dry wood.
