Very nice. And yes, size does matter. I’ll have to get my hands on one and see how it handles. One can never have too many knives. For me, it comes down to what I’ve trained to fight with. I have a Cold Steel Recon tanto that’s been with me for 37 years now. It’s one of the originals made in the US - brass cap and hilt, grey Parkerized blade and it’s slightly hilt-heavy. Didn’t really learn to fight well with it until the early 90s. Then I got schooled.
Even today, that knife still runs through my hands like water. That’s the one in my kit.
And it’s curious - I bought an updated edition of the same knife back in 97. Made in Japan. Perfectly balanced. All stainless steel. Beautifully made. But it just doesn’t feel the same.
I acquired anotehr knife right about that same time: a Chris Reeve large Sabenza. It’s a folder with a titanium handle. Taht one, too seems to have a life of it’s own. Perhaps it does. That one’s always on my belt.
You’ve been able to keep possession of a knife for 37 years? My hat is off to you. My general rule is that the more that I pay for knives or sunglasses, the quicker I lose them or wreck them.
