I have no new images to share yet, but I was de-comissioning some tires after work the other day and it was gliding through them so easily that I asked a friend to film me zipping through one while holding the knife with only a thumb and index finger. I find it funny how well this knife cuts ;)

This video was made after cutting through a few others.

Technically, the only thing required for the job is a 2-4 inch cut, but sometimes I can not help myself :)

Is that a trick tire or something? :D

That truly does look like an amazing knife. I couldn't believe how easily it travelled through that tire.

Well, late happy birthday! That knife is sweet! I love the blade shape - looks like an all around user. It sort of has a Spyderco look to it, which i really like. Nice. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for sharing the excitement. :)

- best wishes, Jazz.

Thanks guys!

I have used the knife to do some wood carving...it does really well. The thin edge really lets it cut deeply and with less effort than many other fixed blades I have enjoyed.

You have probably seen this thread here on the off topic forum, but in case you want to see some of the carving projects I have "helped out on" with this blade....http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49495

Thanks for all the comments, guys. I enjoyed this project and am enjoying watching Ken's videos of him using it as everyone else. I have to admit the tire video was pretty good.

That tire video is excellent.
