possibility of mini chokwe?

#1

Post by casey1 »

i love the design but it's too big for legal carry here and most other places. i love the way it gives a simple ergonomic grip, and i was wondering if theres a chance we could see a 3 inch version

I raised this same idea in 2010, and it didn't garner much support at that time:

Agreed. Im attracted to it, but due to my office environment need to get smaller blades. I would be in for one of these!! Good idea!

I would buy it. That comfy grip from a totally uncomfy looking handle is one of my favorite things about the Chokwe. And just a striking and elegant design.

A Snubby Chockwe, it could look pretty cool. I have it and I know what you mean. It also looks longer that it's deimensions because it is is quite thin and narrow. I like the idea, although it could make some people "chockwe" ... sorry had to say it before someone else did.

I would buy one . I have a chokwe but don't carry it much because it's a little to long.

Right on! I'm in the same boat--er, office situation. :rolleyes: I would certainly pick up a mini-Chokwe.

+1 on a mini chokwe. My chokwe is possibly my favorite knife that I own and I would definitely love an opportunity to own a scaled down version.

I thought I saw someone do this in one of the gallery threads. I could be wrong though.
