Yojimbo 2 and Orange G-10 Dodo- PICTURE TOGETHER?

#1

Post by Boar-gen »

Hi Team,

My all time favorite utility knife is Yojimbo 2. Saying that I might get an opportunity to buy an Orange G-10 Dodo. In order to get a better feeling for the "good locking Dodo", I am asking the community here if anyone has a picture of both Yojimbo 2 and the Orange G-10 Dodo side-by-se for a quick comparison?

I can't pin-point the reason, but the Dodo just looks like something I want to use! It has some kind of strange attraction! :-)

Thanks!

Sadly didn't pick up the orange one when I had the chance, but I did score myself the carbon fiber one. Still loving it! Great knife, amazing ergonomics and has a real unique beauty to it :D

This thread makes me think one thing: when are we going to get a Yojimbo 2 sprint??? (The S90V one was a dealer exclusive)

What an awesome design the Yojimbo 2 is. Although optimized for a particular method of self defense, what resulted was a darn fine EDC/utility blade. I'll have to carry mine sometime soon.

My YO2 S90V has the worst lock stick ever, I really want to love this knife but just cant seem to remedy this problem, I've tried all the little fixes that we know about but still no good. Actually thinking about sending this one back to the mother ship for evaluation.

The action on my Yo2 CF is a bit stiff as well, but of course since mine was a factory 2nd that I got for a steal, I'm not complaining! :D

While I don't own the Yo2 CF, my regular S30V Yo2 is a bit stiff in the lock. (But maybe that's just because I never carry or use it? :rolleyes: )

I'm waiting for the "Bigger Thumbhole on the YO2" sprint run. Look at the size difference between the YO2 and the Dodo! :eek: I love my YO2 but the PM2 gets all the pocket time based mainly on the thumbhole size...

I had the same issue with mine and was forced to send it back to the mother ship.. fortunately, they were able to make the sticky go away and it's now perfect like my g-10 yo2.

Wow, that is really nice, Joe! The added grip on those scales looks like it would make the Yo2 even better.

That's what I'm saying!
How about throwing some of that 52100 into a Yojimbo 2 while doing the Military Sprint. :)


And no lock stick on either of my two Yojimbo 2's...



Oh, and great pics timlara! I'm gonna have to get my Dodo out! :D
Going back to Caly.
