Hi folks!
The idea was to get a neckknife for bushcrafting but with my special specs behind it! After I wrote a thread here Robevs73 was told me by an user here! It didn´t take long for getting in contact with Rob and define the specs from the knife. Rob has also done a great great job in customer support and answered every eMail or PM extremly fast and with a lot of details! I´m very glad to found a knifemaker like Rob - The job he had done is brilliant (from beginning drawing my thoughts ..... to shipping and everything behind) :You_Rock_
He sent the knife on monday and I got my new Neckknife today from and I thought I share with you my first impressions!
And here is the beauty:
The handle:
material: Cocobolo with a beautiful look
2 pins and one lanyard hole
The handle feels extremly good in the hand - no diggin into any part of the palm and cutting is very comfortable with it! Great shape as well - and good for holding in various positions like the chest leaver grip, reverse handed, power cut.....what ever!
The blade is 3" long, with a scandi grind and 3mm thick made out of O1 toolsteel! A speacial feature is that I wanted the spine rounded off - except the first inch from the tip which should stay in a 90° angle for striking a ferrorod! Rob has done this job perfectly!
The leather sheath fits the knife like a skin fits a man *loool* (what a word playing
)
I decided to get the sheath in a nice brown and Rob has done this very even and with great care! The stitching is also wonderful done and there is no point on the sheath which I dont like!
At last I put it to a small test and cutted some paper! The first cut glided through the whole A4-sheet and I was very impressed by that.........the next was to test shaving some hair of my arm and the knife performs like no other out of the box! Scary sharp OOB! :yikes: After that I tryed to make some very fine curl shavings of the papers edge - take a look (note the very very very thin ones at the bottom)!
Thats all for the first impressions - I hope to get out in the bush soon for more wood testing!
I don´t wanna stop cutting with it - It´s just great fun doing it with this kinda knife!
Thx to Rob at this point for his superb work - I think the knife will be a good companion for a long long time! I would highly recommend any of his knives!
all the best and thx for watching
Mike
PS: I would highly appreciate any comments or thoughts (thx)
