In praise of Mr. Ed Schempp

I think the Kris was an exceptional design. The original maker can no longer make it so Eric is working with another maker to see if we can sprint it.

O.o

That would make me froth at the mouth!

On the Rock, I have and use the original custom piece. Exceptional design!

Thanks, Sal! And thanks Eric and Ed too.

I like many of Ed Schempp's designs, and especially like that the Kris is a backlock. I am intrigued by the Khukuri and the Bowie and the liner lock isn't a deal breaker, but i do prefer the backlock. The Kris has an amazing handle design overall.

I didn't know i would like it so much, but the extra large choil allows for so many useful grips. The curvy edge with two bellies and a recurve is surprisingly useful too.
