BogusOne Posted December 11, 2019 Share you see the scorched pine cones ... my first blade will hopefully have a shou sugi ban finished handle ... let's see how things go this holiday!Yeah pretty cool... You will have fun making it and it will be cool nevermind the outcome coz at the end of the day its something that YOU made for yourself. #handgemaak and nothing beats that... All my knifes you can still see file marks etc to give that hand gemaak look or bushcraft feel (like the last one i showed you)... If i want a fully polished and blink knife i can go an buy it in the shop Hairy and gummibear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogusOne Posted December 11, 2019 Share The problem is that I may be highly critical and particular .... will aim for a satin finish, or maybe an acid etch ...time will tell I like a satin finish also as it does not show scrathes or stains as quickly as a highly polished blade. But after doing alot of super shiny and alot of satin blades i still prefer the "bushcraft" rough look as it just lasts and lasts for every day use without having to worry about scratches and stuff Hairy and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted January 14, 2020 Share So finally picked up a pocked knife, and ended up with the Honey Badger in a Large. I was looking for the medium, but they sold the last medium 5min before I entered the store.Wifey gave me a medium Honey Badger for Christmas, and in really impressed with it. It's a great worker knife, I pick it over my Leatherman on most days. I now want a large Honey Badger as well. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted January 14, 2020 Share Christmas was good for me. A Honey Badger, A Joseph Rodgers and a Buck. Apparently my Oupa Phlip (passed away just before my birth) always had a Joseph Rodgers knife in his pocket, so my dad took great pleasure in giving one to me.

I use the knife everyday for varying tasks .... the wife at first hated me carrying it with me, but she has not adapted and has also been rescued by the knife when I took a whole lot of prickly pear thorns out of her hand for her Now I would not mind getting all the shinny bits on the knife acid etched to "black out" the knife!

Ed-Zulu Posted January 14, 2020 Share Bought my kids each a small for camping and scouts. Don’t think there is a better value for money pocket knife out there.Kloppers in PE had them on sale. Mine worked a bit on tufts of grass this weekend on the hike in the berg. The spot we pitched our tent needed clearing and the knife worked well. I remain impressed with my Honey Badger gummibear and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 20, 2020 Share So a bit of feedback on the Honey Badger She has served me well, and is used on a daily bases from spreading whatever on my lunch to cutting down palm fronds on the cycle lane. I have only had to snug up on the screw fixings early into ownership, and it has been tight ever since. I had misgivings buying the large thinking it would be too big, but the size has been perfect. Even when shortening up on the blade you can do some really fine work with the knife and feel like you have full control. She may need a sharpen soon, but she has been used well. All in a rather decent knife that I carry with me every day and on the commuter bike too (Dug out many a thorn, glass or metal out of our groups tyres), and she carries well in the pocket that I do not even know that I am carrying a knife .... with this in mind I do rather like the deep pocket carry clip, so it just looks like you have a pen in your pocket. johnson and gummibear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry the small on a daily basis and use it more often than I thought I would.I lost my previous small Flipper and replaced it within a week. Unfortunately they didn't have the black, but same great knife in another colour.Great value for money.

The Ghost Posted February 20, 2020 Share I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to knives so I don’t like those Honey Badgers [emoji3084] at all, but I’m surprised at just how well they’ve done is SA. They really dominate that price range now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
