Anyone Like And Use Their Chokwe

[clockman]

I bought a Chokwe a year or so ago. It took me a bit to really like and use

it often thou. Its part of my edc now...I Really like it now. Its a Great knife.

Do anybody else like the Chokwe?

Carrying mine now. It's bigger than most of my favorites, but I like it a lot. Put a wire clip on it and it would be near perfect.

The Chokwe is one of my surprise favorites. I actually don't carry it much, but I use it frequently around the house for light duty tasks. It's the fastest, smoothest opening Spydie I have, and is much more comfortable to use than I expected it to be. I find the history behind it very interesting too.

It's part of my weekend Edc. I do like the long thin blade, construction and feel. I even got one for my son when he's older.

I have one and like it a lot. Initially, I wasn't sure if I'd get one, but did so anyway. Once I got it, opened it, and handled it, I was quite convinced that the Spyderco Chokwe was one heck of a knife!

It doesn't look like it'd be practical or comfortable to handle, but the history behind the design shoed it to be truly time proven. The Chokwe is quite comfortable indeed in ever grip I've tried, the action is quite smooth, and it reminds me a lot of the workings of a Chris Reeve Sebenza.

I absolutely love mine. It's beautiful, different, and well made. Works like a charm too. Smoother than any knife I've got.

I like mine a lot. I think I'm the minority that likes the ti/G-10 combination. Great thin slicing blade! I might try to pick up a spare. I can't see this model sticking around too long.

OOh yeah, I like my Chokwe & it likes me. All the reasons above + good to Spydie bat & great steak knife & toothpick.
Now, as I have been known to say before, If you don't have one, why not? You will kick yourself later when they are a rare & endangered classic.
Should have bought more Chokwe's, like you should have bought more Ronin's Yojimbo's & Dodo's. :) Oh! C44 Dyad's as well.

Spyderco's are sometimes like art. A lot of them aren't ever appreciated until they are long gone and hard to get. Then instead of costing a little more then half of MSRP, they cost 2-3 times MSRP.

For me it's a knife of the year 2009!
sits well both in hand and in pocket, cuts like a beast, f&f are incredible, not overpriced...
I even wrote positive review (4 pages) for our local (Ukraine) knife magazine:

Zvir,
any chance to get an english translation for your review? I would love to read that, but cyrilics s*cks to me I cant read that.

Chokwe is one of those "ifs" for me, I dont have one and I would need to play with one to decide, its hard to buy one like that just based on pics. One must feel it.

I definitely got to pick one of these up when I have the money...right now its all tied up in 6 Matriarchs :p

You sound pretty good to me! I'd also love to read your review. It would be good practice!

Oh, however I think your english is pretty fine. Maybe just read that in your language and re-write that in english, it doesnt have to be the whole text :)

If you have time and are interested, of course.

[npueppke]

I love your pictures zvir!

[SpydieZ]

I've been debating wether to pick up a chokwe or not. I haandled it at the sfo and it was extremly comfortable and smooth. All this positive feedback is making me think I was wrong to hold off for so long!!

[zvir]

well, i tried :)

My wife just unexpectedly bought me a Chokwe for my B-day... What a Knife! Everything people said about it is true. Incredibly smooth opening. Comfortable in the hand. And I love the thin pointy blade. It is bigger than most of my other Spydies (I usually go for the Delica and Caly3 sized knives), but it is growing on me fast.
