I'm a member of that forum and haven't really been on there much so missed that. Thanks for sharing
that great thread. The Kiwi is one knife that has been on my list for quite some time. I love it but
when I head to my knife shop something else always distracts me.

Imagine showcases of just
knives and swords of pretty much all major brands and you start to get the picture.
I think making it a bit larger and a slipit is a great move and keeping that original kiwi look with
the stainless scales will hopefully make it a nice seller for them.
The Jason Breeden Rescue looks like it would be more at home on my cutting board. Very different
look and what a kewl looking blade.
The Ed Schempp is neat looking too. I wonder though if they made the finger choil big enough?

Less cutting surface and more choil, hmmm.
I've not been that fond of the look of the Manix personally though I'm sure I'm in the minority.
Just the handle shape with that blade grind not much of a fan, kind of like the Native series of
knives, just doesn't grab at my wallet. However of all of them the see-through version is
different, kind of neat.
