Bodacious Update?
Re: Bodacious Update?
I'm really hoping a Bodacious with a back lock is in the pipeline - something to match my Native!

Few of the members of Facebook groups have gotten one now
Re: Bodacious Update?
In that case maybe Radioactive will have his soon and share it here.

Re: Bodacious Update?
I would love to know how it compares to the Shaman. Seems like very similar knives on paper.

I think this depends a lot on what a certain person finds significant concerning knife features...WilliamMunny wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2024 1:58 pmI would love to know how it compares to the Shaman. Seems like very similar knives on paper.
To me for example the Bodacious clearly is pretty different to the Shaman and actually "fixes" some Shaman-features that don't really fit my personal preferences
"Better" (just for me!) on the Bodacious:
- Thinner blade (still looks really sturdy though)
- More cutting edge (absolutely seen like the jump in edge length from Para 3 to PM2 or Delica to Stretch 2, imo significant)
- No choil, roomy and "neutral" actual handle instead
- Flatter and lighter (not by very much though) carry.
Top three going by pocket-time (update April 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10), Chaparral SE (CTS XHP)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Endela SE (K390)

Re: Bodacious Update?
I do obviously think the lack of choil is one of the biggest differences. I generally like them more than not but I also like my GB2 that does not have one. In that way I guess the Bodacious is a lot like the GB2. Think I just need to get them both I hand. Excited for it either way.Wartstein wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2024 5:59 amI think this depends a lot on what a certain person finds significant concerning knife features...WilliamMunny wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2024 1:58 pmI would love to know how it compares to the Shaman.
