My well loved and most carried knife currently.

A knife I cant warm up to.

Why so?

I think it is the handle material. It is the only negative I have about the knife that I can really come up with. Overall size is perfect, lock is fine. Shape, fit and ergonomics to my hand is fantastic but the feel of the material ruins it for me for some reason. I figured it would feel like my Seki knives and it is not at all like them.

Very interesting. I think the seki knives with the liners have a nice feel. Do you think it is a liner vs. linerless thing? Very good to know.

Seki and Golden frn is also quite different.

I like those scales

Aramis Akhmedov. He still has an eBay store, but it's not clear that he's selling, and definitely not shipping to the U.S. I hope he's okay.

That color scheme makes me think of this (excellent) album.

[TkoK83Spy]

I think of Jamaica.

it was inspired by the rasta flag. ive been into reggae / jungle for ages.



Fun having a knife so obnoxiously colorful for when I don't feel like plain black.

Bad Brains may be a hardcore punk band out of D.C., but they are practitioners of Rastafari. The aforementioned album has some tracks (Jah Calling and I Luv Jah to name a few) heavily inspired by Reggae. Even in some of their punk songs they talk about positive mental attitude, which has some ties to their beliefs. Interesting band, and the album has some wild rides in terms of tempo/attitude/angst.

check out that album today on my lunch break, sounds interesting!

pretty discreet carry all things considered

Had a storm blow through our neck of the woods a few days ago so I brought the Schempp Rock with me this morning as part of a lightweight trail-clearing kit (the kit had to be small & light enough so that I could carry it with me on a 20+ km hike):

The Schempp Rock & Silky Pocketboy 170 folding saw more than justified the space they took up in my pack with their performance in the appropriate trail-clearing tasks, but I should have just left the Fiskars billhook at home & brought my Jarosz Choppa instead.

Contrary to my expectations, none of the obstructions I encountered on the trails required the unique billhook shape: a billhook is great for quickly debulking & delimbing a fallen tree's crown, but all of the fallen trees I encountered had their trunks (not their crowns) blocking the trails.

In terms of light chopping, the Schempp Rock's 6.75" blade actually outperformed the Fiskars' 9" blade (which really has just around 6" of edge available for chopping because of the inward curve), even with the extra angular momentum provided by the Fiskars' significantly longer handle. What I was missing was a heavier, longer blade for heavier chopping.

GB2 with new suit from Sharped Dressed Knives and a cleaned up liner after my hurriedly liner lock access mod that looked like a 6 year old whittled some wood.

Those look good Jeff, burgundy correct? I like that, a bit different!
