Need to think of something else to throw in there as well."
pass 2 weeks and my "mystery pack" has arrived. I was excited to get it, I was thinking it would be a small prizepack, maybe a small flashlight, knife and some other nicknacks- stuff I could use and would be cool to have. A USNM patch came in the mail courtesy of MiniMag, sweet patch man!. anyway- I was in for a surpise. I opened it up ( he DID NOT hold back on the packaging :haha :) and hello - thats big . I pulled it out and HOLY CRAP a forager=- I took it out of the package in awe- yelping like an over-excited 5 year girl getting a wowwi pop- and thats not it- 80 dollars fell from the tec-lock :eek: .
I cant thank you more tom :o , I really appreciate this, its like you KNEW i wanted a beefy FB or something

So- when you first grab this knife- first thoought is " wow thats thick!" then " look at that tip :eek: "
The Hossom FB line comes with 5.5 mm thick N690Co steel- a pretty freaking good performer and plenty strong for chopping with the THICK edge this thing has- probably around 1.8mm behind the edge or so. it came with a convex edge that was dull and fat, I took to it with some sandpaper and a soft paper towel backing and dropped the angle a good amount- it now has a big shiny 0.5 micron finished convex with a 22/side micro bevel. 
The knife has the beautiful lusterous finish like spydercos tend to have
] that with a mirror convex makes it a beautiful piece. The blade shape offers a large belly and a recurve that makes it perform great.The center of weight is about a finger space infront of the front choil, I personally love where the center of weight is, it helps you chop with immense force on that big belly. The thickness on this knife makes it split kindling very well- like a knife shaped hatchet- it also allows you do do some good prying without damage.
