Hello

Can someone share picture ofthe Watu and the Yojimbo 2 together

I have the feeling they share some similarities

What do you think of these knives?

Here's a couple, the Yoji has Allen Putnam scales so it might not be the best comparison.

How are the ergonomics on each ?
According to you, which is the most polyvalent?

I like the feel of the Yojimbo a bit more, with the thumb on the spine it feels rock solid. My hands are larger than average, and completely enclose the handle of the Watu. I would say for those with large hands the Yoji would suffice better, those with smaller hands the Watu feels great.

Interesting.

Was thinking about NOT buying a Watu because I thought its blade was shorter than the Yojimbo's but that's actually not the case.

I've got a Chokwe so the Watu will pair w/it and as a guy w/"smaller" hands, the feel of the Watu should suit me well. It also helps that it adds to my sub-collection of Sypderco Ethnic Series knives.

So, I guess I'll add it to my "buy list."

Same for me
I think I will pick one, but I am not a fan of the scales

and even though the 20cv is great a tool steel version would have been nice on this profile ... some patina on an ethnic serie is fine
