Many thanks Deacon and Donut.

I want to gift a Matriarch to a friend in NYC.

Would you feel comfortable shipping one given their onerous and ambiguous laws? TIA

It really is fantastic. Two points:

Ergonomics are truly masterful. Mr Schempp and both Eric and Sal Glesser are each masters of ergonomics and visually aesthetic design. Mr Schempp also happens to combine ergos with beautiful and celebrations of classic and ethnic designs.

I echo everyone who ...

I sure hope not a Native, purely because of (intimidating) looks

I agree that previous iterations of the Native with their clip point swedge were pretty aggressive looking. I myself found them simply ugly so never got on board.

However, the FFG CF Native IV and subsequent FFG Native V are much ...

I am inclined to think that in each case it's just the result of a hollow grind on a trailing point blade.

WWWOOOWWW!!! The texture on the Tuff is awesome. Dedicated fund started.

Gorgeous! I hope this is the death knell of screwed bolsters. Keep up the pinning please!

Agreed, the Nilakka will be great with refinement. I love the angular shape of the G10 and the subtle striations.

For those of you really craving a tool but not wanting to step up to the bulk of an MT, a small pry bar can be great.

Atwood of course is the "luxury" bar, STR's titanium bars are great, and cheap Ti and steel govt Widgey bars are at County Comm.

They sit small and light in the pocket like a ...

Nice dye job - also just wanted to say that this post is the PERFECT format:

I can read it in entirety visually through pictures. And if I want more detail, you have great annotations. Thanks!

I bought 4 of them as a financial investment.

Say what you will about Nutnfancy but this is not ridiculous from a pragmatic perspective. His channel has over 150k subs and he claims the knives sold out in under an hour, which I find believable. His following is vilified but devoted. Watch ebay ...

Check out the Hossom series.

I have to think that as a manufacturer, large survival blades are probably a nuisance to produce. Those knives, more than any other genre, are "abused" regularly. Batonning and splitting wood is extremely hard on knives and many users take the ability to baton for ...

It won't stop me from hooking into another or picking up my first Khukuri.

I'm still foregoing the Schempp Rock to make sure I have enough Spyder funds on hands to pounce on a sprint if I have to.

+1. And blue scales while we're at it.

Darn photobucket. So many useful threads are ruined by their silly expiration.

Here is a link to Mr Blonde's UKPK disassembly pics for any other poor slob who winds up here.

Nice design. No permanent damage to the blade but still looks a little more intentional that the simple zip tie mod.

Nice score SpyderNut.

Great post JLS. We should have a vintage ad thread.

Gorgeous patina on the Caly, OP.

The consistent level of professionalism and amiability of this company is remarkable.

I'd like to see more knives featuring Schempp wheat heads on their blades. Especially in classic scales like micarta or natural materials.
