Edged Tools / Re: What Traditional Knife are you toting today?

« Last post by chip on Today at 04:22:24 PM »

This arrived today and in my pocket.
I am a little under impressed with the handles, but really impressed by the 1095 blade.
I love the sheepsfoot, swedge and long pull.
And the grind is perfect, sharp, even and burr free.
The blade is a little larger than I am normally comfortable carrying being a hair’s breadth over 3” in its entirety including the tang.

On the whole a great usable knife for the £50 I paid for it.

Brock - Glad to see you applied for the badge.  Looks good.

Hey Jeff!

I was a little bit unsure about "which badge" a few days ago... I noticed you got the "tween" one recently, which made sense since it was literally the only one in the list that seemed to be appropriate. 👍

This👇is the one to apply for if anyone else is curious.

The light function is not the primary feature here?

In this case, I'd tend to agree. It sure looks like a baton that "just so happens" to have a flashlight at one end. My "tactical flashlight" is about 2.5 inches longer than my hand if the beam isn't being focused. (Because it's not at all pocket-friendly and has two or three irritating modes that must be cycled through, it sees very little use.)

I'm glad to see that you made it here!

Welcome to the forum Andrii.

For anyone wondering about these, I have a few of them and I have got to say, I have not seen a startup manufacture tools with this level of quality before.  In fact, very few of the Big Guys can manufacture items this well.

I'll post some pictures and thoughts soon.

I don't know what flashlight those kids had, so I'm not commenting on that as such.  I just want to say that some torch designs certainly don't seem to focus on the light function. If it is made like a club, works like a club, and hurts like a club, then I'd call it a club even if there is a light at the end. Things can be both a club and a light. (I've even seen some with taser functions built in).

 An example picture included - I think it is fair to say the light function is not the primary feature here?
