I recently discovered this knife. Just from the pictures, I love the lines and the shape of the blade. Of course it had Buck's good quality 420HC.
Like every knife I newly discover, I try to look up as many reviews as possible. In doing so, I see that all the reviews are from around 2012 when the knife first came out. Well it's been about 3 years, so what do people think now that we've had them for a while.
I'm looking for a general purpose woods knife, and EDC. Here in CT, we can carry a fixed blade knife of up to 4", so this blade and 3 and some change fits nicely into the legal restrictions.
This would not likely be used for batonning, but would spend 99% of its life opening boxes, cutting cordage, perhaps a few fuzz sticks here and there, typical knife stuff. Right now I have an Izula 2 that i've been using for such things for the last month or so, but you know how this disease works. There's always the next one on the horizon.
The other contender for this role is the Becker BK14.
So what say you all?
