This little EDC-sized hunter didn’t get any belt time because the very cool G10 scales were just too thin, and I couldn’t hold onto it very well. So I replaced them with thicker cocobolo. I miss the cool techie look, but what’s not to love about warm wood and O1? Added the mark to it too.

150mm Kiritsuke-tipped Chef’s Knife
150mm kiritsuke-tipped double-ground full-tang chef’s knife in ~0.100″ 154CM and blue/black G10.
