Show your HDFK!

[Ajack60]

This just in, a HDFK found its way to the deep south. It may be the only sighting in this neck of the woods. Speculation is, the broadband speed and time zone difference is a factor in the rare sightings
I think I had a first generation FK a few years ago, I didn't really care for it because I had blades similar. Sold it and didn't have an interest in the FK until the HDFK was introduced. Got on the preorder list and now it's my own.
It does have a purpose for what I meddle with. I am very pleased with this knife.

Great taste Jack, but how about that classic step-side in the background?

Thanks, this is my second CPK, the maroon ain't too bad either.This antique is just gorgeous and sexy.

I received my HDFK this week! It is such an incredible combination of form and function. It can perform like a much larger knife when needed because of the fantastic handle design. The antique Micarta handle scales are truly gorgeous! I also ordered a pair of unbuffed natural Micarta that I am going to try my hand at dyeing them. Leaning towards a dark blue but have not fully decided.

How does the buffed burlap compare to the micarta?? Thanks

I really like the unbuffed burlap for grip! It has more of a texture feeling to it and I have had a hard time putting it down all day. My unbuffed linen also feels great but I imagine over time, with use it will become more like buffed but the burlap will still have the more coarse texture even with natural hand oils. I like the unbuffed for users and buffed antique micarta / buffed black linen micarta for lookers / backup blades. (As if I need back ups )

My next CPK I may try in unbuffed antique micarta if it is still available.

Cheers,
Justin

And here it is next to unbuffed linen micarta

Finally can join the club. HDFK arrived, and buffed burlap is now my favorite handle option.

Reposting this here for comparison reference of the HDFK vs FK and a couple of in-hand shots of the handle....

Freaking Perfect! Man, thank you! Is that a hog badger just above it??

Correct, that is a Hog Badger.

I really like the Hog Badger but wish the handle filled my hand a little more. I think this I partially why I like the HDFK so much. I have never held another blade that felt as ergonomically comfortable as this one!
