I'm glad i held out for the drop point and that HH commissioned it!

Mine arrived while i was out of town and i'm just getting to spend some time with it now. It is indeed nicely executed by the Golden cutlers.

My sample has an AV (January 2022) date code. Are we seeing any other date codes on these?


Mine is DV (April 2022).

I got .020” at the heel, .021” at the belly, and .026” at the tip. Date code is EV.

I don't have a device to make such a precise measurements but differences can be easily seen in the picture. To be honest I think that only a bunch of knife freaks like us would be able to notice it. In my case, I don't care because it doesn't affect the cutting abilities of the knife and, in addition, once the factory edge is over my KME will take care of it ;)

I somehow missed this drop, and stumbled on this now... I was completely surprised to see they are still in stock, especially at this great price (less than the FRN BD1N 🙀).

I am well pleased with the original HH model, and I have not used the drop point before. The only sensible thing to do was to buy it on the spot.
