Hi guys, foggy weather here
Today Im walking whit my CR Umnumzaan, here whit my beloved Omega PO
Its not a traditional knife, but Im interested on discuss something about modern knives vs traditional.
Being a CR knife, this folder is of course very well made
The knife handled
The knife its really efficient, despite the thickness of the blade has a good cutting efficiency
I forgot to show you the glass-breaker, which is a nice touch of class
That said, lets to compare it whit the Tidioute 235511LT
These two knives are similar in size, but not about materials of course
The blades are different in thickness, and while the CR use a super steel (S30V), the Tidioute sports a very traditional 1095 carbon steel
Handles are really different, not in thickness, which is similar, but about the general shape and feeling on the hands
I used both the Umnumzaan and the Tidiuote a lot for my outdoor activities. What I prefere is a tough decision. The CR feels really robust, well made without any doubt. Of course, the one-hand opening feature is really comfortable. Its a top class knife (also about the price). Anyway, I like more the Tidiuote, because of the much more comfortable handle, and the better cutting efficiency. I really think the bone handles are especially a great plus, really comfortable in hand, you may work hours and hours without any problems, and unfortunately I cannot say the same for the Umnumzaan handle. My final vote is so for the Tidiuote.
Ciao,
Alfredo
