You can get a round file at the hardware store and make your own.

Sign me up :) .

This.

I no longer have any choice in the matter.

I'm sure it can take lots of abuse. But I can't tell what tasks the Tuff is intended to perform.

I think the promotional materials for such a knife would be epic, so I strongly support the idea.

Also, I'd like to know which is the One True Religion.

I'm pretty sure the problem is just that your "Feta" comes from Denmark.

By the look of the Szabo, it's intended for two-handed use.

There's a few different threads discussing the Stop Lock, including one that has links to the patent illustrations.

It's pretty different from other knife locks, and I'd say it reminds me of how one might make a lockback without a bar on the back.

It seems like having a hole toward the spine would allow some amount (however slight) of "give" that would, in the vast majority of use cases, result in LESS blade breakage.

Hi Paul, Nice thoughts. I guess the next question is, How much larger? You can't make it really BIG. The spindly appearance would start to look weird at a certain level of heft. I'd concur with Paul that I'd want it still to be an old-fashioned knife, without multi-position clips. Maybe a "jac...

My preference would be for it to be as close as possible to a scaled up version of the original. However, I imagine that, just like there are things which cannot simply be scaled down, there are probably be things that just can't simply be scaled up. So I suspect there might be some changes needed ...

That would be simply amazing.

Yeah, seeing the video, I have to go with "optical illusion."

So, I'm taking a closer look at the photo of the Chaparral on the first page, and I'm wondering: is the blade really a lot shorter than the handle, or is that an optical illusion?

I don't have any impression that VG-10 scratches unusually easily. I think it may SHOW scratches more than some other steels.

That Schempp Rock makes me wish there were mammoths to hunt or something.

I can't tell from the photo: is the Chaparral lined or not?

I think you missed a spot. :)

I don't know much about the innards of knives, but won't a knife that's shaped like the Sage, with bolsters, be really heavy? And balanced toward the front of the knife, to boot?

Wow -- only 2mm? That will be sweet. Perfect for its form factor. Alright, now I'm fully on board.
