Congrats.
Mine is fairly dull. :( It cannot cut a paper. Also, screws are not recessed, which is surprising. Still my Forager will serve well to my intention of use: to be a safe (actually display) queen. I love this micarta and you cannot beat the price.

Thanks. My screws are not recessed as well but I do not mind. I cant feel them when I hold the knife. The sheath fits great. Sorry about yours not being to sharp. I love the edge on this blade it looks like a mirror. And your right the micarta is great as well.

Mine feels that way too, but I can't tell if it's because of the convex edge, or because I'm used to my Yojimbo nearly cutting any appendage near it :p

Either way, huge chopper for a great price. Plus a fellow forum-ite gave me the riddle for free shipping!

Yes it is slightly different than a yojimbo. ;) My Forager is the only knife in recent times that I have cut myself with.It was razor sharp when new.

I suppose this is a chopper where toughness is more important. The blade has to be thinner to be a good slicer, but you don't want end up with a kitchen knife anyway. Mine came not shaving sharp either, but I guess it is OK as a chopper.

I would love to get this size or little bigger Chef's :spyder: knife, made in Italy or Japan with the same materials and quality at the same price. :p
Unrealistic, so. :(
BTW, received today dealflier from Sierra. Great deals for byrdlovers.

Good buy. I'd been looking for a deal on one for awhile, but always forget to check Sierra Trading.

Perhaps if you don't like it jnewell then you could shoot me a PM? ;)
