The size and weight and scale color are kind of in the same ball park.
Already have the Nilakka; and the Southard seems its perfect alter ego...
You know, one for slicing apples and the other for batoning car doors. :D
Anyone have a pic of the two together? Is that brown G-10 the same?
I just saw and handled both today. The Nilakka was darker. The Southard is thinner, with flat scales, but still hand-filling. I found that the corner by the lanyard on the Nilakka really dug into my palm. The Southard was far more comfortable.
Thanks Victor. I'm quite looking forward to handling them both, side-by-side.
Got a Nilakka in my pocket, and a Southard on the way. Just pulled the trigger on the Southard, 5 minutes ago. Can't wait. :)
You "made me look," but I'll be damned if I see a lanyard on the Nilakka. :o
