Darrin, your (my new!) knife came in the mail today, much to my delight and I must say it is a neat little guy, and quite comfortable in the hand, perfect in fact. The fit up is great and the finish is very clean. Your pins are domed very nicely as well!
I had a chance to give it a light duty performance test and the results were impressive.
I admit I was a little apprehensive about driving this through an old railroad bolt, but the blade IS labeled Darrin Sanders, so why not? After that astonishing success I thought "I bet this knife will cut through anything!" soooo....firebrick, check.
A longer handle would have helped in chopping through the 4X4, but I think that particular test is probably beyond the limits of the design anyway. All that chopping made me hungry, and sure enough, after all of that, she still shaved pepperoni!
Kidding aside, thanks Darrin, and everyone who participated in this years Christmas KITH.
